Since it was December and there was no chance of us dying from sun exposure, (If you've been on the Kaibob trail then you will probably remember all of the warning signs about death due to heat exposure), we decided to take the Kaibob trail down to the canyon and hike up the Bright Angel trail back to the top. The trail is approximately 15 miles and it took us about 8 hours to complete. After hiking about 20% down the trail, we made the decision to complete the 15 mile loop. To make up time, we ran the remainder of the trail. It was not difficult to do since the trail was steep. In fact, I was happy that we made the decision because I was not looking forward to climbing out. I sympathized with the tired Mules climbing up the trail.
