The original plan was to follow in Thea G's footsteps and do the Rim to Rim barefoot, but plans changed and to be honest. I probably would not have been able to do it. So my son and I did 2.5 miles of the S. Rim hike to Bright Angel trailhead, down Bright Angel 9.5, Phantom Ranch .5, up South Kaibab 7.0. Nearly 10,000 feet of elevation change. Another incredible hike and all barefoot. I'll put together a trail report and pictures soon.
