That sounds about right, but your buddy was moving. To the Colorado on the S. Kaibab, it's 6.2 miles...so 12.4 RT. Dad and I averaged 3.2 mph in the beginning (downhill). Uphill was alot tougher due to the heat and hydration/blistering issues.
If your buddy was able to maintain a do-able 3 mph average, then 4 hours is about right.
For what it's worth, there's people that run North to South rim in under 6 hours. That sounds like a real interesting challenge.

huh. It may have been a different trail then. I know what 4 mph is, and he was going faster than that. He was an All American XC runner, so....
