Warm May
Fun trail without much traffic. Unseasonably warm.

Hermit Rapids
First time to the Grand Canyon. Great trail, broken up nicely with switch backs and traverses. Really enjoyed hermit creek canyon. Extremely hot but had a great time with new friends!
Beautiful 2 day backpack to the Hermit Rapids and back to the rim. Trail is not as bad as advertised in my opinion. April was an ideal time to go as the inner canyon was a wonderful temperature, though the rim was cold.
