Grand Canyon start of Gems hike with Dad from South Bass TH. This was am epic jounrey to get to the start of the hike. Dad and I drove through the night to meet our ride out to the Trail Head (TH). Fully loaded pack hiking starting at 4p. Counting it as run miles - 2.5 miles in about 90 min. moving time. We camped at the first flat spot just in time to beat the darkness in time to set up tents and get food cooking. About 45 ddegrees and dropping down to 35 degrees by morning.
