It's mostly the challenge that gets most people to do Rim To Rim. And, also, there are a lot of ultra endurance athletes who live in this area who go into the Canyon many times a year and they do Rim to Rim for the workout more than they do it for the views.

Me, I like to enjoy the scenery along with the hike, but have been known to hike down and out in one day. But, that is not how I usually like to hike in the GC.
