  • Hey guys!
    Join Darwin (Darwin on the Trail) and me on a trip into the Grand Canyon via the Hermit Loop. This trip took place in mid-April 2022 so the weather was cool on the rim and scorching in the canyon. I brought way too much gear because I was expecting colder temps and didn't realize the temperature difference between the rim and the bottom of the canyon. Good times were had regardless!
    Enjoy!

    Awesome video! Granite Rapids is one of my favorite spots along the Colorado in Grand Canyon NP. Next time your at Indian Gardens you should definitely hike out to Plateau Point. It is 3 miles round trip from Indian Gardens but well worth it. That Tonto trail is wild, you have to travel 3 or 4 miles just to go 1 mile east or west as you navigate around the canyons coming down ( I know I'm not explaining it well but you know what I'm talking about)

      Where did you find them? Hoka discontinued the Evo Speedgoats last year.

      @@juicehikes5436 oh, I should have taken a better look. Mine are bondi 8 Hokas. I have Morton's neuroma in my right foot from wearing Salamons for over a decade. Salamons run narrow and over time, like braces on teeth, compact the space between your feet bones--trapping and pinching nerves. It's an intermittent and excruciating pain. Only wide footbed shoes prevent the pain for me. I'm 55, learn from my mistake --always have good arch support and an ample footbox that is not narrow on your foot. Remember the braces analogy. Once the damage is done there is no going back.

    • @juicehikes5436
      @juicehikes5436  Před rokem

      Got it! I agree, I wore Salomon's for years and they messed up my feet. The Speedgoats are what works for me!

    Thanks for posting lighterpack , how do you handle without bug net on the tarp ?

    • @juicehikes5436
      @juicehikes5436  Před 2 lety +1

      It depends on where I'm going and the time of year. Many times a bug net isn't necessary. If I do expect bugs I'll bring the Sea To Summit Nano Pyramid net which fits well inside the tarp and can be attached easily.
