Do you recommend hiking N. Kaibab in early November from N. rim to Phantom Ranch?(Going up S. Kaibab or B.A. next day.)

As long as it hasn't started snowing yet that should be easy.... But if it has started snowing or they've already closed the park For the winter it will be a heck of a lot more difficult. And by an easy I mean for most people from North kaibab to phantom ranch isn't a crazy difficult walk. It's the hike out the next day that will get you. Either way you need to be extremely prepared to hike in the Grand Canyon. It's not something you just drop into and expected to work out well. I love the hike down South kaibab but hiking up is no fun. At least not for me. And there's no water from phantom ranch to the top. I usually recommend that people hike out bright angel. there's water there's more people and there's more shade.

October/November is a great time to make the hike, because it's cool at the top and warm at the bottom of the canyon. Much better than hot and hotter during the summer.

I went in late August and the temperature dropped to 49 degrees so i personally would not like to, toooo cold for me.
