We decided to go down Kaibab and up Bright Angel. Going all the way to Bright Angel campground was a waste of time and effort so we decided to take West Tonto and cut across the valley. It was beautiful and that stretch has some of our favorite scenery. There wasn’t another person on the trail the entire 8+ miles. There was plenty of time to take photos of the views without people interrupting. I’d definitely recommend this to experienced hikers who miss small foot trails.
