    I am planning to go to the Grand Canyon for first time next week and Iā€™m a bit nervous about it. In taking my 18 year old son with me. Iā€™m more nervous about the altitude. This video is amazing. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and all the information. Iā€™m going to check out your other videos šŸ’•

    My husband and I completed a Rim-River-Rim (South Kaibab down, Bright Angel up) hike in a day on 9/22/2023. We had watched your videos many times and your tips were invaluable. We did okay, it wasnā€™t pretty, but we made it and weā€™re still alive, weā€™re in our 60ā€™s. I didnā€™t expect the hike down to be so difficult. I used trekking poles and purchased the shoes you recommended, Hoka. Iā€™ve never had knee issues and had trained a lot. My right knee was swollen and in pain halfway down the trail which made for a very slow climb up. My backpack may have been too heavy, in retrospect. It was windy and cold starting out and I didnā€™t drink, eat, or use electrolytes effectively. We had a long rest at Phantom Ranch. Do you have any advice or tips for hiking downhill more efficiently? Thanks again for all you do! We love your channel.

    April was when we did it long ago. A lot cooler below. Snow on the top. Stayed in a 1964 Chevy truck with a 1972 overhead camper. Took back packs with lots of extra water, food and room for extra clothing. Had lunch with some nice ravens on the river overlook. My sister and her best friend went down to the river. Bright Angel trailā¤ļø. Loved the mules and donkeys

  8. @len10100 on September 6, 2024 at 4:14 pm

    Good day! Thank you so much! So glad I came across this video! Was thinking of doing the Kaibab trial but Iā€™m thinking of taking your advice and doing the beginner one to appreciate the views! Not an intermediate hiker but I am a long distance runner so I hope it wonā€™t be too bad. Thank you for all the tips!

    Great advice! Sweaty Death March is my new band name.

  19. @georgedanilov8898 on September 6, 2024 at 4:32 pm

    Heading out below the rim for the first time (more then just 20 min stroll) in October

    Glad I found this video and your website!
    Thank you for taking your time to share your knowledge

  20. @dgu2 on September 6, 2024 at 4:32 pm

    Thank you, great tips!

  21. @idodoodle on September 6, 2024 at 4:32 pm

    I watched many of your videos to prep for my trip to Yosemite and it was without a doubt one of the most breathtaking, astonishing experiences of my life. I had everything planned down to a tee and I owe a large part of that to you! I think our next stop is the Grand Canyon? Wherever we do end up– I know I’ll be looking up your videos!

  22. @drouleau on September 6, 2024 at 4:35 pm

    Question (not really a dayhike question lol) – overnight, on average, what is the temp difference between Bright Angel campground and say, the south rim? For example, if it’s 20 degrees at the south rim, would it be just as cold, colder, or warmer overnight at the campground?

  23. @user-hx6ef9bt2m on September 6, 2024 at 4:39 pm

    what season is the best for hiking into the Grand Canyon?

  24. @evenaicantfigurethisout on September 6, 2024 at 4:40 pm

    Which has better views, SK or BA? I hear BA views are blocked at the beginning?

  25. @dougm1711 on September 6, 2024 at 4:41 pm

    Very informative video. My wife and I are heading to the US from Australia in December 2023 and weā€™ll be staying at Maswik Lodge in the village, south rim for a couple of nights. Hoping the weather is kind and we can do Bright Angel trail šŸ¤žšŸ»

  26. @TheCompaPepe on September 6, 2024 at 4:41 pm

    I have been living in Arizona all my life (I’m 22). This Saturday is the first time that my fiancee, daughter, sister and I will be going to see it. Thank you for the info!

  27. @FATL0L0 on September 6, 2024 at 4:42 pm

    The last two switch backs going up bright angle suck after being on your feet for 19 hours and doing a triple rimer!!!

  28. @patriciaterstenyak3303 on September 6, 2024 at 4:42 pm

    Thank you for being so informative and helpful, most importantly I appreciate your delivery and being kind to beginners!

  29. @juliangarcia3857 on September 6, 2024 at 4:42 pm

    is there a bathroom on any of the trails

  30. @herbbastin7966 on September 6, 2024 at 4:42 pm

    When trails are icy and we want to do small sections of Rim trail, South Kaibob, or Bright Angel, are cleats sufficient, or spikes? Bright Angel is closed currently 1/2 mile down I believe, but we can do the top I think. Headed there on 2/13/2024, a couple days after significant snowfall. Thanks – your videos are awesome!

  31. @steveragan3945 on September 6, 2024 at 4:43 pm

    Hi Cris. Since the Ribbon Falls bridge is out, is there any access to the falls from North Kaibab trail?

  32. @richardchorley1593 on September 6, 2024 at 4:47 pm

    Scared of The Edge ? I always thought he looked daft as a brush

  33. @pollasyrole1 on September 6, 2024 at 4:48 pm

    Thank you for the tips and guidance.

  34. @edwardricciardelli1468 on September 6, 2024 at 4:49 pm

    We are planning a mid May sk trail to cottonwood day 1. Day 2 and 3 are easier with hike out from bright angel camp to south rim. Fkatlanders but training hard. Doable??? Suggestions?? Thanjs

    I have a tip for you – take the number of posted miles and double it (at least)

  42. @danielgriffith3633 on September 6, 2024 at 4:54 pm

    Hiked it for 20 yrs- when you’re about to step in, realize that’s the best you’re gonna feel for 2 weeks Lol

    Hi! Iā€™m planning my trip for next year, however, I am HIGHLY allergic to mules šŸ„². How often do you come across them on the hike? Once or twice? Thanks great video

  48. @VivianInTheOC on September 6, 2024 at 5:03 pm
