Rim to rim across the grand canyon may well be the grandest hike in the world, but crossing the grand canyon on foot is not a trek to be undertaken lightly. This is the final entry in the Essential Rim to Rim guide. If you plan to hike anywhere in the canyon, and most especially if you plan to hike or run rim to rim then this full series is absolutely critical viewing.
Far too many people are entering the canyon with bad advice they've gotten from the internet or elsewhere and it's leading to a startling number of deaths in the grand canyon.
This series helps you get the most out of your grand canyon visit and helps you gain the knowledge you need to fall in love with the canyon and explore this natural wonder safely.
Enjoy reliable information and stunning 4K HDR footage of this incredible landscape

I plan to do the Rim to Rim to celebrate my 67 birthday, I now feel very well informed and very confident that I have all the information I need to safely complete this hike, thank you very much.
Can’t think of a better way to celebrate your birthday! Have a great and safe trip! Glad you found this series. I welcome any feedback after you’ve completed your crossing.
Thanks for helping people to understand about being outside and being prepared mentally and physically for the conditions they are hiking in
Glad to do it. I hope my videos will help some people who otherwise might have attempted this trek without adequate preparation.
The canyon is amazing, and doesn't need to be dangerous if people put in the time and effort and remain respectful of the canyon. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind feedback!!!
@@HomeInWildSpacesI've been backpacking since I was old enough to carry my own weight. January 2025 will be my first trip below the rim. I am staying 2 nights at the phantom ranch. I have enough experience to know I don't know anything. What should I expect? How should I prepare? Explain it to me like I'm a 9 year old
@@justinpolley2490 Boy am I jealous. If you're staying at Phantom Ranch, I assume you have a cabin or dormitory. Correct?
If so, you'll be able to shed some bulky items like a tent and sleeping pad. But if you're visiting in January it would be best to consult your reservation info on whether a sleeping bag is necessary. I know the cabins include bedding, but not if a sleeping bag wouldn't be helpful in January.
Beyond that, I think the advice in this series coverings best training, nutrition and gear practices. Have you watched part 1 and part 2?
@@HomeInWildSpaces I watched everything you have on the grand canyon. Thank you btw. I have done a great deal of reading, watching videos, and talking with people. Your videos were a wealth of information. We have a cabin for 4. It's going to be a good time! If you have any other stray thoughts on the matter feel free to send them my way. Lol, if someone drops out and we have an open bunk I'll let you know. Thanks again
@HomeInwildSpaces: awesome video the Grand Canyon R2R. We r doing this in May 24 n glad we saw ur video with tons of tips.
Where did u get ur red Yellowstone hat? It is so cool.
Outstanding, 🙏 thank you!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching! I hope you’ll consider sharing.
Thank you so much for this series! I have a trip reserved for next year and this made me look forward to all the hiking I will be doing in training between now and then.
Tremendous and potentially lifesaving asset. Thank you for putting together 3 outstanding and useful videos. It’s nice to have an honest view that doesn’t wear rose-colored glasses.
Really enjoyed your three part series on your rim 2 rim in the Grand Canyon. An alternative to your hike, I did two rim 2 rim 2 rim hikes, with a group, while staying in the canyon for four nights. I was in my early 60’s and found this manageable and allowed for morning hiking and afternoon exploring. Still my favorite hikes.
That is awesome! Would love to do that, or something like that some day. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!

I have two tips for you. If you are hiking between Nov. and May, the water is turned off at all sources but the campgrounds. I carried an extra liter up the north rim and left it at Supai tunnel for the return to Cottonwood. Have the right clothes for the bottom, it can be 30 degrees warmer than on the rims. Otherwise I would treat it like any other amazing hike.
@@dougborton6482 thanks bud! 313?
Beautiful scenery. This is an excellent presentation. The Grand Canyon is awe inspiring in both size and beauty. Thanks for a great video!
I watched all 3 episodes on Grand Canyon. You provided so much detail and facts. I especially liked how u defined " Rim to Rim" in the first episode. People say it frequently but I wasn't sure what areas they were hiking exactly. Thanks for the beautiful footage.
I appreciate that! I really wanted to created the best Grand Canyon resource I could. This is a sacred place to me, and want others to be able to enjoy it and taste of that sacredness for themselves. I hope my videos have helped accomplish that goal.
By the way, if you enjoyed my three part rim to rim series, make sure to watch my recent addition link here: czcams.com/video/nTrUZ4gnd1M/video.html
Thank you so much for this series. It was great info for my Rim to Rim hike the beginning of September.
Thank you so very much for the three part series of the Rim to Rim. I watched each three times…maybe four.
I’ve been training for six months and am so pumped to do the North Kabab to Bright Angel. Your videos are the very Best. They are so well balanced with topic of preparation, gears, fuels, historical and spiritually…not to mention the High Definition videography.
I will be there in late September and plan to revisit before middle October.
Again thank you for your guide and seriously cherished advice. 🙏
PS I loved the John Muir’s quote: For all the "nerve shaken, over-civilized people [who] are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home.”
Thanks so much Christopher for your kind words! I hope your September trip was amazing and that your October trip will be also!
It's always gratifying when people see the value of legitimately reliable online content.
Have you completed your crossing yet? I'd love to hear how it went and what you learned. Best wishes!
Well, I survived the Rim to Rim hike!!! It was more like a spiritual pilgrimage. Am so proud of myself…12.5 hours at a leisurely pace…remembering the social and natural history. I’ve met several Germany and Swiss hikers…and a 75 years old retired fire fighter at 2 am in the morning just before I reached Phantom. He recommended me to rest on the bridge for 1/2 hour to get away from poisonous scorpions snakes and spiders. It was full moon and the canyon was fully lite up…very magical. I helped out a family of four who was not prepared both in pacing, hydration as well as fuel.
I liked it so much that I returned the following week and hiked from Kaibab to Bright Angel.
I plan to return every Sept and Oct. I think Muir was correct about the mountains as your home.
So glad it worked out! I agree. It is a very spiritual experience. Wish I could return every September and October. Thanks so much for sharing your expereince!@@christophertran8896
@HomeInwildSpaces: awesome video on the Grand Canyon R2R. We r doing this in May 24 n glad we saw ur video with tons of tips.

Can’t wait to do a trip to the floor and back. I will watch this series a few times to make notes and feel comfortable before attempting.
Best of luck! Have fun. Stay safe. Respect the canyon. I'd love to hear how your trip goes.
Thank you for the whole series! My wife and I moved to Arizona a year ago and have been hiking a ton this past year. This is at the top of our list and had no clue where to even start. So happy I found your channel and the massive amounts of knowledge you shared in this series. This will be a very helpful tool when we make our journey Rim2Rim. Thanks again!
My pleasure! Helping people get the most from their outdoor adventures and connect with our sacred wild spaces is what motivates me to make these videos.
Have a safe and wonderful trek across the canyon. And please come back and let me know how it went.
@@HomeInWildSpaces I definitely will! We will be making our Journey October 4.
Hey Mike! R2R was amazing, such an amazing, life changing experience. Thanks to you for your inspiration, guidance, and advice for all things R2R. We were fully prepared thanks to you. We will definitely be doing it again!
Love hearing it! It really is transformative! Congratulations!
You said that training is most important, do you have a video on a good training program? That would help a lot!
great series of videos. I hiked south to north (bright angel to n kaibab) this past weekend. this is what I would do differently:
-pack smaller more calorie dense foods and eat more of it
-wear a chest pouch or fanny pack in front to keep snacks accessible. pain in the ass to only eat when stopped and taking your pack off to access the food
-train harder for the last 5 miles. I did a ton of hiking and long walking but should have done more cardio. after we passed manzanita on the steep sections (it's almost all steep sections) when my heart rate got over 160 I would have to stop for a minute or two til it dropped below 140. that means about every 10th of a mile I had to take a breather
-lost more weight. I'm 54 yrs old and 5'11''. Started training 3 months pryor at over 265lbs. hiked at 240lbs. I wouldn't attempt this again unless I was below 215lbs.
made it out in 13 hrs. 5:30am to 6:30pm
fyi the water out of the spigots tastes like it came out of a garden hose
Awesome! Glad you've enjoyed my rim to rim series. And thanks for sharing what you've learned as well!
Awesome video series! I have only taken a helicopter flight into the canyon and experienced the amazing sights this national treasure has to offer. I am plan a trip back out there with my wife so she can experience the canyon too. Hiking rim to rim is not on our radar, although I would love to do that I know my limitations and respect them. You are doing such a great service to anyone that is going to do this trek by sharing your knowledge in such a wonderful way! Look forward to more of your adventures!
Thanks so much for watching, and for your kind words of encouragement!
Wild Spaces are very special to me, but they can be hazardous if people don't respect the land and know their limits. I dream of a future where both nature and people can thrive together. I hope my videos help push humanity in that direction.
Thanks so much for watching!!! Much more to come.
Fantastic ! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
New subscriber here! Love your content more power to you! 💪🏼
Welcome! And thanks!
Sorry I didn't catch what you said about your problem near the end where your drink lemonade and electrolyte upset your stomach. Is it mean I can't drink lemonade mix with electrolyte? Can you explain more?
The chart at the very end seemed to be VERY informative; however, it’s not there long enough to read. I tried to screenshot it but it’s illegible. Please post the statistics and/or chart. Great video series!
Stop the video at the map, then press screen shot - that is what I did but I used Snip & Clip. I saved it to a JPEG/PDF. Hope that helps.

Can you share the links to the Grand Canyon SAR statistics? I could not find them on the web.
I got those statistics from Grand Canyon Public Affairs directly.
thank you for information, we are planning to enter the South Gate at 5am for the R2R hike, however we need to acquire america the beautiful pass to do so, while the park is open 24/7 do you know if there will be rangers to sell us the pass at such an early hour? if not, how do other hikers get in a park before 8am?
Typically, the gates are open early in the morning but not staffed. Since you’re entering the park so early, consider getting an America the Beautiful pass at REI prior to your trip.
Otherwise, you’ll need to make plans to purchase a pass after completing R2R. Our parks need the funding, make sure to contribute.
I buy an America the Beautiful pass every year. Best $80 purchase I make.
Hope that helps! Good luck on your crossing. First time?
@@HomeInWildSpaces we have done smaller hikes in Grand Canyon before and also owned this pass before. It expires right before our R2R trip in October 😄, so instead of purchasing online and risking it wont be mailed on time we thought we would just get it at the entrance. Didnt know REI sells it, will definitely check it out, thank you!
Thanks! Will do.
@@HomeInWildSpaces Thank you very mutch... have a nice Start of the week.... see you….
Now I know why your friend always stayed about 10 feet back from you. Imagine being lectured to from one rim to the other.
Lol. He actual had a great time. By the time we got to the other side of the canyon he was already making plans for our next adventure and many more.
I get it though. Some people don’t like getting advice and quality intel. Makes them uncomfortable. They prefer to dismiss it as “lecturing”.
I can’t do anything but offer the information. It’s up to people to be open to quality info or not. I know that canyon/route very well and have a long career of completing and training people for successful endurance hikes.
But, again, up to you. You won’t find better R2R resources anywhere.
I agree. These are good videos except when he starts to lecture everyone. I just mute him on those parts.
People are wearing masks? Thats hilariously pathetic. Nice video!
