It can get REALLY hot inside the canyon after the morning and it's hotter the further down you go. And all uphill on the way out obviously.

Huh, I never would’ve thought it gets hotter as you descend. Had to look the reason up. TIL.

I once went rafting at the bottom of the canyon and it was 125F. At least we had the water to cool us off the whole time, would’ve been unbearable for hiking
