1st trip
I had perfect weather for this hike! Low 60s, breezy with cloud cover. A few sprinkles but just barely. Heard it snowed a bit on the rim while I was down on the Tonto.

Went down on the east side of Horseshoe Mesa by Page Spring and picked up the Tonto there. Wow, Grapevine is epic Tonto contouring! That part never ends, took me 1:35 to clear it. I planned on exiting at S. Kaibab but by the time I got to the junction I still felt good so I continued on to Bright Angel.
