The alarm went off at 5:30 (1 hr prior to sunrise). Around sunrise the campground was about 70% vacant. Many were hiking to the rim and the rest of us were just trying to beat the heat during the climb. From Bright Angel Campground to Indian Garden Campground (elevation 3,800 ft, climb 1,200 ft) is 4.6 miles. We arrived at Indian Garden before 11 and beat the real heat. We cooled our bare toes at Victor’s Oasis, fed by Garden Creek in the campground.
