Nonsense, I made it down Bright Angel all the way to the river in about 2 hrs and 20 minutes. I was carrying a 70lb pack and being this was in August, an early start before it got too hot. There are several water sources along the trail.
The Ranger said he had done the rim to rim in a very long day, but advised allowing 6 to 7 hours back up Bright Angel for normal folks.
