Great stuff! Drop in from the south side?
Get to spend much time @ the river? What was the trip time?
Left form Grand Canyon Village. About 7 hours down with a 1 hour lunch break. About 6&1/2 back out the next day.
The Phantom Ranch were I stayed the night is about3/4 mile from the river. I never got real close to it except when I crossed the bridge to the far side
