I would definitely hike Bright Angel in the summer. There is shade and water at 1.5 and 3 mi rest houses and Indian Gardens. There are a few creek crossings to soak in as well.
However, it will still be incredible heat once you reach the Devil's Corkscrew and enter the inner gorge. Standing near that black schist is like standing in front of an oven when the door is open. It will litterally blister your hands without gloves.



Clear Creek is a beautiful perrenial creek. I have only been there by river. I want to do that hike so I have reviewed several hiking guides. You will be extremely exposed on the Tonto Plateau for about 8 mi without water or shade. It's not recommended in the Summer.

Do you have your permits yet? Today was the 1st day for applying for July permits.
