    The rim-to-rim hike in the Grand Canyon is iconic, spectacular, and challenging. Over my years of hiking the rim-to-rim, I’ve seen people of all shapes and sizes hike across the Grand Canyon, and in this guide, I’m going to give you all the information you need to know so that you can hike it too. Your journey will start months before stepping foot on the trail, as planning is critical for this popular bucket list hike. And then, armed with the correct information and preparation, you’ll know what to expect as you leave 99.9% of the other Grand Canyon visitors behind and hit the trail to cross one of the seven wonders of the world. And in case you’re wondering, although you’ll be exhausted at the end, the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel at the end is unparalleled.

    My daughter and I did this hike on September 28, 2023. We used this video and your web site to help us prepare. In the video, you describe the climb up to the south rim as “fairly soul crushing.” I mentioned that to my daughter and she said, several times during the end of the hike, “My soul will not be crushed!”

      The pictures always make it look much scarier than it really is on the trail. The trail itself is quite wide and safe feeling. I'd say it's at least 4 feet wide at all points where the dropoffs are. It's meant to be safe for the mules, which are much wider than you or me. I, too, get antsy about drop offs, but I had no problems at all.

    Excellent video and narration of the hike, I hiked identical route last October for my 7th Canyon crossing, most Canyon crossing videos have annoying music played much louder then the talking on video. Again good job, you must be in very good shape with almost continuous talking while hiking uphill at what appeared to be a good pace

    Love your videos! They've helped a lot.
    We hiked North Kaibab to Supai Tunnel last week.
    We enjoyed it, and we cursed it at the same time. The mule crap was everywhere. Literally. I knew some crap was possible -- maybe even likely -- but not that much.
    The North Rim had just opened, so I don't know if that made the difference. Maybe it's also time-dependent -- as in get out there way before the first mule rides start.
    We are considering South Kaibab and Bright Angel (not sure how far on each) next March but are now wondering if the trails will be the same -- full of crap.
    So I am hoping our hike was the exception.
    Should we expect that much in March? Does South Rim (vs. North) also make it more likely?
    I am not asking about a crap-free hike. Just one that is not crap-covered.
    Thanks!

    Hiking Guy, I just decided to add the R2R to a vacation in the vicinity. I am having logistical challenges with sleeping arrangements for a R2R in September of this year. So how not smart, is my plan to take the shuttle from the south to north rim arriving at the north rim around 1230 and begin a through hike to the south rim? The days I could hike are September 20 or 21, 2022. What I do know is the sun sets around 6:30, the low for the night is 51, and it should be 1/4 moon. If I start my hike at 1 pm I should have about 5 1/2+ hours of good visibility and maybe another hour or so of limited visibility. I would think this would put me in a pretty good position and only have to hike the upper portion of the south rim to finish. I have sectioned hiked the Appalachian Trail finishing in 2015 with the last section 1400+ miles in 87 days. I annually do a week or two fall hike on the AT. I just arrived home from a solo bicycle ride from Seattle to San Diego which was my last ride in an around the nation bike ride (northern tier, southern tier, east coast and west coast). My point being I have not hiked the Grand Canyon, but from my observation of your and other's videos it would be doable for me. When time permits could you advise if you have known others who have done this and advise of any alligators that I should be aware of. Thank you so much for what you do and the information you provide! Sincerely, Bill

    • @Hikingguy
      @Hikingguy  Pƙed rokem

      You should be fine. I'd just keep the pace higher / consistent when you have daylight and don't forget backup batteries for the head lamp. It's actually quite nice hiking at night and you probably won't be alone on the Bright Angel when it gets dark.
