I’m disabled, chronically ill for nearly 10 years. Thank you for this video. I miss hiking so so much. I imagine being with you! I will heal and will hike again!
Hi - I did Grand Canyon 2wice in my mid/late30's (S Kaibab never got to bottom tho but further 2nd time - but hike back up was brutal) I am Also now Disabled w/Osteoporosis w/Fractures + other issues (diag at 50 yrs old) ..I will never do anything like that again - but need to see about maintaining/improving.... came here as want to see what I did and what I missed...(which was EVERYTHING after 1:30:00)
I’m rooting for you, Sonya!
Sonya, what other places would you like to see? I'm starting a channel to showcase trails, parks, etc. in a similar style. I'm traveling through the US starting this year
@@clewis519 I would like to see rarely hiked area of Yosemite Valley 😊
I'm in the same boat as you. I've been recovering from cancer treatment for six years. I'm starting to get out and hike a little bit now. I only do a mile or two at a time, but I find I can do just a little bit more each time. I hope to do rim to rim someday in the future.
Thank you for this video. My parents are 92 and can no longer enjoy these kind of adventures in person. They stayed with your hike all the way to the bottom (although it took them most of the day!). When Mom saw your shadow and realized you were carrying that camera in your hand, you gained some serious respect! They both thoroughly enjoyed their "Sunday outing". Thanks for sharing!
I watched every second....you were so wise to leave it silent with no narration..the breathing and footsteps and the birds and the wind. Perfect.. It brought to memory my walk up that trail. Thank you.
I'm disabled and cant walk even a block, this makes me feel like I'm walking/running it thank you👌😎
Same boat here.
Thats what's great about the internet. You're a cup of coffee away from the whole world, and beyond......Stay tenacious.

Y cuánto hizo de regreso? Muy buen video felicidades.
In small ways like this the internet is a small blessing
I'm 67 retired and have been chronically ill for the past 5 years spending most of my time at home. I spend a lot of time online exploring youtube videos when I am not doing my part-time English tutoring which is most evenings. I am so glad I got to see you do this awesome trek. I do appreciate you filming all the way down. It takes a lot of grit You were so courteous while passing other hikers. That was really nice! God Bless!
I'm 70, can't walk or do weight bearing exercise due to physical deformities, BUT I can bicycle! My husband & I took a road trip to the national parks for our 50th anniversary last fall and I was envious of the hikers in Grand Canyon. How THRILLED I was to come across this video today! This pandemic is so frightening but I'm trying to stay healthy & strong so while I couldn't hike with you, I could listen to a good beat thru headphones, watch your hike projected on my TV, and ride the trail like I was there!!! I don't know how you could hold a gopro for that long, or hike at such a steady pace, or pick up that pace after hiking on such a treacherous trail - I have no idea how old you are or what type of training this took to do - but I CAN tell you that what you did made for a truly amazing day at a very difficult time in the world. Stay safe, stay healthy, than keep on hiking with that gopro to help those of us who can't!!
Gloria I have 4 screws in my left foot and afraid my hiking days might be o er. I sure wish there was a petition process where people could ride bike on the trails in wilderness areas with a doctors permission and letter of explanation to obtain the permit. I did the rim 2 rim 2 rim in 1974 as a Boy Scout. Dying to go back!!
Gloria: Have you thought about doing Canyonlands N.P? .It can be done by car or bike?
@@glennredwine289 Thanks Glenn! I was very excited on our big anniversary trip to find so many NP’s that were car or very short walk accessible! We did Canyonlands, Bryce, Capital Reef, Zion, Arches--it was the trip of a lifetime & I was so pleased to be able to see so much. I wish I could have afforded to do that trip when my body was able to do everything. I hope that you - like me - try to do as much as you can with what you've got! Thanks for the thoughtful suggestion! Be well and enjoy!!

Dude...I cannot THANK YOU enough for posting this glorious place..one of the 7 wonders of the world. I've never been able to visit the Grand Canyon, however thanks to you..I now have. I'm 61 and live in Florida and watched the whole 2 hours and I think I will keep watching over and over again. Just AWESOME
I will never get to the Grand Canyon, I’m 85 yrs old. Thank you for making it possible for me to take this beautiful walk!
This really is an impressive filming job to move as quickly and efficiently as you did with minimal movement and no stumbling. Well done.
John Lautzenheiser
Yes dear, u observed it very well, what I was just trying to think ur word i.e.
minimal move and no stumbling in quick pace of walk.
Very tuff and breathtaking task u accomplished in a precise and decently picturesque, and for praising u I have no word but pardon me.
God bless u
Jesus kiss u
Fantastic video! As someone who lives in another country, I find this sort of virtual exploration invaluable. Keep up the great work.
+Daniel CJ Todd Where are you from?
@@TreadmillTV I live on Guam. I can't even imagine such a place.
This is unbelievable, I've never seen anything like this film in all my life. The Grand Canyon has always fascinated me but I'm scared stiff of hights and being near to large objects such as rocks and mountains. You have my total admiration and respect for making such a superb film of what to me is the greatest wonder of nature on the planet. You deserve an Oscar for this!
I am 80 years old. My husband and I hiked from the north rim to the south in 1964! We took our time, and took 3 days! It was July, afterall🤪. This video was the most impactful view of one of the holiest places on earth! Thank you so much! You have done a great service to those of us who cannot do it ourselves (well, I might try the mule trip!)! The weather, time of day, lighting, were terrific but the geology, geography, majesty and the silence, are what made this so dear to me! At this time in our world’s history, I am thankful I could spend the two hours+ to go with you! Thanks again!
I did that trail when I was 21 now at 60 no way, thanks for the journey down memory lane. The girl that went down that trail with me I had to drag out...haha she was my future wife.
Well done you.I tip my hat
Why is it one of the holiest places on earth?
@@nibirananda9381 The Grand Canyon is sacred to many Indian Cultures. It's majestic and when you are there and look out into the vastness of it....you actually can't believe your eyes. It becomes very real once you hike it. 😊
@@nibirananda9381 Because at its simplest it is just a hole. The majesty is psychological. :)
The hike was so emotional as I slowly lose my vision and now have physical limitations in this way I can visit vicariously through others adventures thank you fit this exp.
Karen Forsen hang in there Karen. Look into neuroplasticity and DNRS while you can still see ❤️
This is the most magnificent video I’ve ever seen on CZcams. I’m a 64 year old woman with health conditions that would never allow me the luxury of this hike. I miss the beauty of Northern Arizona so much as I’m now in Hawaii. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this beauty.
As an armchair explorer, this was exciting. The ever changing vistas and "iffy" path made it more so. Thank you, it is amazing!

I did the Hermit trail when I was 20 (now 65) with a girl from college that I loved and who broke my heart. I'd like to think I could hike it again. If you' haven't done it and you're physically able, please do it as soon as you can. It's one of the most awesome experiences you can have.
Love made in the canyon
This really helps when I’m walking on treadmill. I don’t like to get too close to the edge. I start leaning toward the wall!
Congratulations! Just don't give up on yourself! Your stomach and legs have improved!
Still my all-time number one virtual treadmill hike/run. Spectacular views and scary cliffs everywhere. I especially liked the view at Skeleton Point. I imagine there are lots of ankle sprains and broken legs with all the rocks on the trail and crossing rock ledges placed for washout prevention. I do this treadmill video at least once a month!
In reading the comments I am impressed by how many disabled and elderly took the time to tell you how much joy your video gave them. You should feel gratified to have helped so many. I went down this trail 10 years ago this month, and it was fun to see so many familiar sites. Thanks for taking me on a trip down memory lane.
More spectacular than I could have imagined. My fear of heights is kicking in watching this.
Unbelievable! I sat tranfixed through the entire 2 hours.
+Leo Nickol It really is an amazing place. Have you been there in person?
Yes, for me, rim to rim to rim in 3 days in 1975, and after waiting a year for the reservations, it snowed after we arrived, on both rims, with sleet along the river. Rough trip, the trip of a lifetime, but maybe I'll get into condition and hike the Canyon again. I ought to. It's worth it. Btw, I've added this GREAT video of yours to my Arizona playlist. You did a fabulous job, your equipment has amazing stabilization, Thank You!
I’m beyond appreciative for your effort in creating this for us. Thank you 💐 I watch your virtual hikes/runs every morning with breakfast and it brings a special quality of peace and love to my day. Much respect for your skill.
I love a thriller, this one has me on the edge of my seat.
Outstanding! Hard to imagine how anyone could be so fit as to run most of this beautiful trail while holding a steady camera. I, too, am elderly with physical problems, but drag my 37 lb Foldable Marcy Exercise Bike in front of my PC and am getting great exercise (20 minute installments) with your video. Now that all of us are housebound with COVID-19, this video is as close to a beautiful National Park we'll ever see. Thank you!
Love this video.. very clear, not bouncy, not panning from side to side, gives a "runners view" Watch it on the recumbent exercise cycle..
I wish I could be there right now, instead of sitting in my living room during the corona pandemic. Thanks for this video, so I could travel virtually to the GC.
love the enormous amount of work that has been put in making this path as it is...
A trail-maintenance crew works for the Forest Service year round to maintain all the trails in the Canyon and in other locales as well, trail-building also. They camp out there, packing all their food and gear down with them. It's a tough job. I once had a housemate that was a crew-leader, was almost never at home.
Pretty amazing how well maintained the trail is with thousands of people walking it each year,
I was there many years ago...believe me. That path wasn't as wide or as nice as it is today. Not sure if you have to carry all of your own water down now, but back in the day you did. One gallon at least..more for a hot day. That gets heavy after a while with other necessary items in a pack.
Thank you for the piggyback ride. I am a paralyzed quad and ride an electric wheelchair. One of the best trips I have ever taken in 51 years. God bless you and thank again!
That's a way of seeing part of the canyon that I couldn't do when there... awesome video. Thank you for sharing
This was incredible, I had never seen a video of this in my life, I always dreamed of knowing the United States, and to do what you did, did a good job, my friend.❤
THIS IS INCREDIBLY SUPER BEAUTIFUL!!!! I AM FROM THE NETHERLANDS AND I KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GO TO THIS SUPER BEAUTIFUL PLACE. I FIND THIS SOOO SPECIAL AS IF AM HERE MYSELF...WOW!!! I THANK YOU SOOO MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
Did this virtual run now three times, always amazing 🥰
And my deepest respect for the people who build this trail!!! 👍🙏
Just watched the first 20 minutes on my treadmill. Excellent video!! I intend to watch the whole thing in 20-30 minute segments (I am an old lady!). It has always been my dream to walk down, but after seeing the video, and at my age - I guess I will not. But I am so glad for this video as I can do it in the safety of my home on my treadmill. Thank you!!!
How old is old?
I'm thinking the same thing, Nancy Nau!!
you are too old to live the dream when you`re dead. My mother is 77 and she could walk this, why not step off the treadmill for a change?
I'm 69 and have been down/across the GC 136x.... last trip 4 weeks ago just before the closure. Cannot WAIT to get back.
Enjoyed from beginning to end. Thank you so much. It's as if we tagged along on this awesome trek.
Amazing! thank you, walking on a treadmill is no longer boring.
The best memories!! Thank you for letting me relive them over and over again. ❤ This trail was our favorite.
This is an incredible video, got me through two separate treadmill runs, felt like I was there in person! Thank you for these
This is the best treadmill running video I've seen. He holds the camera steady and high and he moves fast. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Just holding that camera up all that way would be hard, let alone the rest of the effort!
I love videos like this, Just a person walking with no heavy music and just the natural sounds around. Makes you feel like your there. Thanks!
Just finished my sixth virtual hike down the Kaibab this week. Still my all-time number one favorite treadmill hike.
This is the best video to view when running on the treadmill. You even forget to count the time.. And the landscapes are really breathtaking!
watched the whole thing! amazing that you were able to do it in about 2 hours! wow!
Back in my running days, sometime in the summer of 1996, I ran from south rim past the last manmade structure (a restroom) where it kind of flat ground but before the river and then back up. Enjoyed it immensely.
I have been there and rode mules down from the top when I was 16. I am now 70 and still remember what a wonderful time I had. Man don’t you ever get tired? I wanted to see where you ended up. Great job!!
Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for making this video. The scenery was breathtaking!
Wow, good job!! My legs are getting tired just watching. Lol awesome video!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Watching this video,I can't believe I was able to hiked the South Kaibab trail going down to Cedar Ridge last August 2017.I am so proud of myself because being an unexperienced hiker,I was able to do it.I traveled a long way from Canada just to experience this amazing adventure.Thank you for sharing this video.I took hundreds of photos and I was so lucky to witnessed the breathtaking view of the sunrise.
That is the most relentlessly terrifying hike I've ever seen. Was invited to go, but will be cancelling. Beautiful from my desk though.
Absolutely love this. I could not have filmed this and not stumbled. Thank you.
Eyes on the trail, a fixed arm position, not monitoring the equipment, eyes MUST be on the trail. That's the only way, camera or not.
Great video. Very nice quality. I did this trail 36 years ago when I had good knees. Was so good to re-visit it. It was just like being there.
As others have said, this is so wonderful for us over 70 explorers who have always wanted to see the canyon from the trail but can't. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing this! I did this trail many years ago and it took me 5 hours! Great memories and I can now say I did it in two hours!
even though I've always been enchanted by the Grand Canyon (initially from a geologist's point of view0, I could never do such a thing due to a bug-ton of arthritic damage, but now I watched this and experienced something like it. I stopped the video 11 minutes in and went and found the map of the kaibab trails in my books so I could follow along. Thanks.
A wonderful piece of work. I have never been able to grasp the real monumental scale of the Grand Canyon and your video gives a great sense of scale and geological time.
Thank you, thank you thank you.....
I did this trail when I was 12 years old... I am 56 now and watching your video brought back so many wonderful memories... Priceless to me...
We would never have made this hike without you. Bear Grylls got nothing on you. You're our new hero. Thank you!
Bear Grylls was a fake.
Thank you for this , brought back memories of when I hiked to the bottom and stayed at phantom ranch and hiked back up the next days lol we’re my legs sore !!!! It was well worth it and I have lots of pictures too💕
This is footage is incredible. So much fun! I have always wanted to hike the GC. Thank You for your hard work!
I COULD NEVER BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PATH LIKE THIS . THANK YOU FOR THIS EXPERIENCE EVEN IF IT IS VIRTUAL . .........WITH LOVE .
Thank you for this! You are amazing and inspirational! This is as close as I will EVER get to seeing and accomplishing this. My thank you's are not enough!!
Dude, you are the man! You smoked that trail and weren't even breathing hard. Great video, really enjoyed it. I started down that trail, but never got very far because I kept thinking about how I'd need to climb back up. You did a great job.
Thanks for such a beautiful hike. Used it on my treadmill this morning, kept me going. Did 5 miles steady. Inspiring views. ❤️
Fantastic HD video! I have been doing R3 for many years and South Kaibab trail was always mostly in the darkness. Now I see it clearly, wow! Thanks for not doing gibberish and selfies like many of the trail running videos. Plus jogging while holding camera without poles on those step sink holes that get deeper by mules and people every year is not easy. Again, thanks for doing it, especially not talking :)
It's 12:02am where I am. As the hustle and bustle of the day faded, night comes, and anxiety starts creeping in. This music touches a primal part of my soul I never knew existed. I cry, as I always have, with your music. I hope you keep making these, but no pressure though. I am grateful for you as you have changed my life. To everyone struggling right now, you are stronger than you believe. You are not alone and I know you'll make it through. Better days are coming, I just know it. 💕
Thank you sooooo much for this video! You are AH-MAZING! 💚
what a beautiful country ... what a beautiful planet......
+wintercrow I couldn't agree more. 😊
Thanks! And thanks for being so polite to the hikers you passed. I can’t imagine holding the camera up for so long, and so steadily. You’re aces at this!
Phew. I am absolutely knackered after that but I made it to the end. Wonderful trip - thank you sooo much.
Nice video! Great quality and it was awesome it was over 45 min! Keep up the great work. This definitely helps get through treadmill running. +10!
Super awesome!!!! I only made it 47 minutes so far but you did a great job so far! I can’t wait to see where the trail leads. The scenery is gorgeous! I love that you take it to the edge and scan. I hope you have more videos!!
wow, great photography, awesome views! could be my best ever treadmill run; thanks for sharing!
Am I the only one who thinks this is more exciting than what’s on tv these days? This is amazing!
This is the trail we hiked down in 1965. It was awesome!
This is beautiful and it motivated me to walk today! Thank you
Magnificent! Thank you for the walking tour !!
Thanks very much, we did enjoyed it. We are too old and not healthy, so this is for us a very pleasant way to experience this amazing trail.
the horses were CRAZY....couldn't imagine being on a narrow trail and trusting a 'hoofed' animal with my life...this video is TOP NOTCH....
amazing. this is one of the National Parks i want too see.
Thank You, brings back memories.
I went for a hike August of 2017 on
South Kaibab Trail down to Cedar ridge point.It was an unforgettable and amazing experienced .I was able to witnessed the majestic view of the sunrise.I will forever cherished that journey of a lifetime.......from 🇨🇦
Thank you for this video. I last hiked the South Kaibab Trail on Sept 27, 1997 the day after my 38th birthday This brought back so many memories.
Stunning scenery!
Incredible... amazing.... keep up the excellent work....you don't even need to give any running commentary....thanks from isolated frozen northern Canada...👍👍
I absolutely loved this video. I have used my treadmill everyday since discovering the virtual hikes/runs. This one is my favorite so far. Thank you!
Came across this Video and it really made my day . Could not have picked better music . It always brings tears to my eyes .
This was awesome, thank you for such a good vid. I caught myself several times leaning up in my chair to look further over the edge. I am happy to hear you are going to make more of these, all awesome suggestions so far that I have read.
You should have a step-o-meter and see how many steps you took to the bottom of the canyon.
Spectacular video journal of the long journey down into a breathtaking wonder! Beautifully done in first-person view as well! I never got to take any of the hikes down into the canyon on any of the trails ( our tour was along the South and North rims only), but videos such as yours capture the majesty of what it is like (and the awesome views I missed!)! Thank You for sharing this truly memorable experience ! Makes me feel as though I have literally taken the Kaibab trail hike myself!
Th Grand Canyon is the most awesome sight my eyes have ever seen! I visited the the south rim with a friend in 2010. We were there in March of that year. The weather was perfect. It was my first time there.As I stood looking out and over that amazing rim, and out at all the fantastically shaped and colored rock formatons, I was so overcome by the beauty of the place, tears streamed down my face. I culd't speak and I was just frozen in place for around ten minutes before I began walking the trail again! I must go back there again. Fabulous does not begin to express my description of what I was looking at!
For all of you who have not visited the Grand Canyon, please, do yourself a favor, go enjoy this naturally formed, glorious place. No one should miss it! Thank you for this great video. It brought back memories of the best vacation I have had in all my 75 years!
Such an amazing place to go/see/walk/run! And the views... Took my breath away (wich I needed to run on my tradmill)
Best tradmill video so far!
This is such an epic location!
This is gorgeous! Great video quality. I didn't even notice when the intro music stopped :-)
Thank you for producing this video. I spent about 50 minutes on my treadmill. I then sat in a chair for the rest of the video. Breath taking views.
It's a nice walk did it in 1999. There was snow when started at top and at bottom ended up sunbathing on the beach by the river.
Awesome video! Thank you for taking us along!
Very awesome. Although I may not be ableI to go there I felt as if I were there with you. Thanks
OMG This was wonderful. I used to hike everyday with my dog. She's in dog heaven now and I am 62 and disabled. I walked the Bright Angel trail back in 1980, even taking the detour to the lookout point to view the river. We made our way back to the trail and continued to the bottom and with 116 degree heat, broke the rules and jumped in the river to cool off and hiked all the way back to the top. We did this in 1 day!! It was good to be young. Thank you for tis video. Even though it wasn't the same trail, it was nice to see places that I photos of, from a different angle. Thank you
Thank you for this video. My husband I did this back in May 2016 and I just loved it. We just loved it even though we didn't do the whole route. We went down about 4 miles and then back up. I just love being able to watch this and relive the time we had when we did it. Thank you again.
Going 4 miles in and back is very good. I am planning on going 3 miles in and back.
Great video, gives me a little of a clue what it will take to hike the canyon, it is a lot harder than what i thought. Thanks.
Spectacular creation from up above..video camera actions👍been there before..awesome feel like on top of the world😎
i took a walk down the canyon on my treadmill this morning. I really enjoyed my time. Thank you.
What amazing walk with you! I don't know how you managed to practically jog all the way with a go-pro on such a narrow and uneven trail! Even if I was young and fit, there is no way I would attempt it, firstly because I fear heights and secondly, I know for certain I would trip and fall off the edge! Thank you so much for taking us with you. Our world is beautiful and amazing- in this time of uncertainty we need to unite, fight for our rights and freedom especially for our children to live, love and enjoy the world that God gave to ALL of us! Thank you again....I hope there was a lift back up....
