We needed an easy warm up hike prior to the Rim to Rim the next day but didn't want to over do it. So the Rim Trail was a good option. Hiking from Maswick Lodge past the Bright Angel TH and westbound on the Rim Trail towards Hermits Rest in the early morning hours. Hiked the first 3 miles in the dark and then stopped for the sunrise. Very overcast which limited some of the views but the clouds started to break up as the morning progressed. Eventually we made it to Hermits Rest and then found a spot above Hermit Trail to enjoy the view. After the break we took the bus back to the Village.
