The South Kaibab is a short steep path to the Phantom Ranch. The big detail to know about the South Kaibab is that there is NO water along the trail. You need to carry everything you are going to need. The recommendation for the hike down is four or more liters of water per person for the entire hike.
After loading that much fluid in the backpack, I realized there was no way to make that happen. We started the trail with ~6 liters and were going to ration along the way. Connor did not know this.
