A rule of thumb for temperature gradients is 10 degrees Fahrenheit for every two thousand feet of elevation. The north rim visitors' center is at about 8200' in elevation. The south rim village is at about 7200'. River level in that area is about 2400'. Therefore, you're looking at a temperature difference of almost 25 degrees between the south rim and the river and almost 30 degrees between the north rim and the river. I've been a guide leading backcountry hikes at the north rim.

Why it cold on top of mountain and hot in bottom of grand canyon?
The temperature differences between the top of a mountain and the bottom of the Grand Canyon are primarily due to elevation and atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases, leading to lower temperatures; this is why mountain tops are cold. Conversely, the Grand Canyon's depth means that the bottom is closer to the Earth's core, where heat is more concentrated, resulting in warmer temperatures. Additionally, the Grand Canyon's geography can trap heat, further contributing to its warmer climate at lower elevations.
