Nah - here's the thing about camping: I'm over it, like if I never ever do it again that would be fine.
Anyway, it was a day hike. For those familiar - down South Kaibab, over to Phantom Ranch because someone wanted to see it although it's slightly out of the way, then up Bright Angel. Had done this same hike about three times in the nineties but not since. My god the weather was perfect.
Would like to at some point do the North Kaibab trail as everyone raves about the scenery being out of this world. But it's so much longer than the south rim trails that it changes the trip considerably.
Kids would probably enjoy the hell out of it though - Phantom Ranch seems like a cool spot to stay and that's something I'd consider if we wanted to take our time knocking out a rim-to-rim-to-rim.
