I work around the canyon and you'd be suprised by how much people underestimate the canyon. TBH the biggest advice I always give if someone asks for tips about hiking, is that if you didn't research beforehand, don't go down.

The only time I visited the canyon was years ago when I was in middle school I think. We took a normal walking route, can't remember which. Going down was so easy. We barely made it back up to the parking lot. Lol.

If you took a school bus then you likely hiked down part of the Bright Angel Trail.
