South Kaibab- Colorado Rive Hike

Not familiar with those hikes, but I did Hermit's Rest to Dripping Springs (3.5 mi to floor, for 7 mi total) if you want to include your family. It took 3 or 4 hours I think and was steep at the beginning/end

Do not hike rim/river/rim in one day.

I did rim SK to Totnto to rim SK and that was good.

An alternative would be rim SK to Tonto to BA to rim. A long but achievable day hike.

I did that a wek after the previous fitness test.

Alternatively,rim Hermit Trail to Dripping Spring or Santa Maria Spring is ineteresting and far less crowded than The Corridor.

Luck, post pics.

OK but why not?
The main reason people list for not going rim to floor is that you suffer from heat exhaustion and or dehydration. But its winter and about 30 degrees, and we'll each carry 4 liters of water down and refill at Bright Angel campsite so water shouldn't be a problem either.

No, no problem. Commit your family to an extreme elevation day hike for your pride.
