  • During the "Covid Pandemic" out living our lives instead of hiding at home. So that means wearing a mask once in a while.
    We spent the day at Grand Canyon West. It was our first time at the west rim but we have been to the south and north rim and the east overlook.
    We decided to zipline instead of the skywalk and it was awesome, especially since it's our first time ziplining!!
    The Zipline is away from the main part of the canyon so it doesn't take away from the beauty of the canyon.

    I moved to Arizona 2 1/2 years ago. I went to the Grand Canyon South two summers in a row. All I could say was "WOW!" It's a spiritual experience for me. I love it there. That zip lining experience you showed in this video looks like it might be on my bucket list now. Thanks for the great video!

      We planned on moving to Arizona a couple of years ago but hasn't happened yet, awesome for you that it did
      The south rim is wonderful indeed. You should also make the trek to the North Rim. The drive is really cool.
      Now you have an excuse to go to the West rim :-)
      Thanks for watching.

      The ziplining is at the west rim, which is not owned by the National Park Service, its owned by the Indians. I think its definitely worth the visit.
      I have snap mounts. snapmounts.com/ They are magnetics plates that make it super easy to switch mounts. I had one under my shirt and attached the gopro that way. They are very handy. Have fun exploring new ways to film with your new Gopro, they are fun to have.

      @chkwgn460  Před rokem

      It goes over one of the washes along the canyon so you are still on the same side you started.
      After you're done they take you back up the hill in a little shuttle.

    Out doors, in the sun, you aren't breathing on anyone and no one is breathing on you and you have to wear a face mask. My God have "they" got us by the short one!
