Kaibab Trail
There is a trail that goes down into the canyon itself, and we decided to give it a go.

The trail itself goes right to the river’s edge, but it is a two or three day hike. So we went about 1/3 of the way down. Took about two hours.
The park management makes no bones about how dangerous the hike is, due both to the trail’s lack of safety rail and to the heat. One of the signs make it very clear:

The heat wasn’t a big concern…it was about 10 degrees on the rim…although it got hotter the further down we got. Here are some of the photos from the trip down and back up again.
