Very cool, ya made it up there in June of all times to go, my brother in law had this hike on his bucket list so I offered to go with. We slept on the ground on the north rim then hiked across 27 miles over the next 10 hours. It was super hot at 100 plus coming up the bright angle trail. My wife stayed on the north side with us then drove around and picked us up on the south side. I have done the rim to rim to rim as well and a few other variations, never gets old seeing this place and never gets easier.
