Wow. Almost like you put some long hours in this one. Simply amazing man.
Thanks brutha!! Loved that slow motion shot of you at the beginning where I introduced you guys. That smile of yours sums up the trip....simply amazing! Memories for a lifetime my friend.
Awesome video. You have added this hike to my list of future hikes. Thanks!
That was awesome and beautiful. Enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome,can't wait for the rest of the adventure!
The Grand Canyon is such a magical place. I appreciate the kind words. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Wow! Great video. My favorite hike. Do rim to rim every year. Where is part two?
This is on my bucket list. Great video
Hello my friend, The Grand Canyon Adventure in on my list. I did a helicopter tour and had lunch in the Canyon. Take Care and Merry Christmas.
This video is fantastic. I love the educational parts, I think that is missing from most videos I watch. Not only do I want to see what the area has in the way of views, I also like to hear how a place came to be. I am always in awe of how our parks are built. How a boardwalk or bridge in the middle of nowhere came together. I am eternally grateful to those that put in the work so we can enjoy Mother Nature.
Thank you so much Amanda for the kind words. The history of our parks and wild places has always fascinated me and I love sharing this with my viewers. I think it increases the appreciation that we have for a place and my hope is that with increased appreciation comes stewardship. Despite the amount of people that visit the Grand Canyon it was one of the cleanest parks I have ever been to. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and support our channel. Trips and I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Amazing video. From the views, and information. Simply awesome ✌🏼
Thanks brutha!!
Enjoyed this video, I can’t find the second video. Would love to see part 2!
Thanks so much! The second part is coming, stay tuned. 😃
Sick video, brother!! Can't wait til I can see this place in person.
Thanks brutha!!! You gotta see this amazing place with your own eyes. I just scratched the surface. Crazy views!
Wow, what an incredible trip. I need to go.
(Tim here) Dude!! You're all upping your game!! That intro was, dare I say STUNNING! The shorts are the EIGHTH wonder!! Seriously, great video. Scorpions were wild!!
Hey Tim! Thanks so much...I had a blast editing this one. I too liked the intro. I think I found the right music track to capture the feeling of first experiencing the canyon. It’s epic!! I learned that scorpion trick by watching other peoples videos. You learn so much on CZcams 😂. I appreciate your support my friend. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Loved Robs and Jeremy’s videos very much. Miyagi your camera work was excellent. Favorite was the night time stars. Great work. Thoroughly enjoyed excited for part 2.
Great video with great information.

Wow! What an exceptionally well done and beautiful video! I thought I was doing a decent job but you have really upped the game. Simply amazing and well done! One of the best videos I have seen in a long time. I have a lot to learn, thank you for sharing.
The Grand Canyon is such an awesome and magical place. I appreciate the kind words my friend. My hope has always been to inspire others to have their own adventures...safely & having a ton of fun doing it by being prepared. Your words are inspiration for me. Thank you so much. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Incredible footage! Awesome you had a chance to experience with your hiking friends. Keep up the great videos!

Amazing grand canyon adventure tour filmed. Thank you for your nice sharing.
Thanks so much!! We appreciate your support. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Just WOW!!!

I agree! Spectacular!!! thanks so much for watching. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
@@MiyagiontheTrail are you posting the rest of the trip?
Yes. It’s been a challenging edit and I’ve been delayed by career and family obligations. I promise it’s coming soon! 😊 thank you so much for your support and encouragement.
This is an amazing video. I especially like the educational content along with all the hiking and views!
Thank you for the kind words Joyce. Learning a bit about a place tends to give a person a greater appreciation for it. I admire these places just as much for their history as for their amazing scenery. Stay safe & Happy New year to come. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Wow! You did a fantastic job with this one. I’ve added this one to my bucket list. Can’t wait to see the next part. I’m sure it won’t disappoint.
OMG!! Epic video dude!! This has to be my favorite video you have posted...I actually felt like I was watching National Geographic in several sections...beautiful photos in the intro...great Astro videography/time lapse...my favorite was the ribbon falls video and the music you choose was perfect...such a beautiful place I really hope I get the chance to hike there someday!! Awesome glowing scorpions🦂
Awe thanks Braids!!! This one took me a bit to edit and post but I wanted to make sure that I did my best to capture the feeling of what it was actually like to be there. We say the word epic quite a bit in our videos and I can find no other word to describe the Grand Canyon. Thanks so much for your kind words and support. Trips and I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!! Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Miyagi on the Trail Welcome!!! Merry Christmas🎄and wishing you both an incredible 2021🎉Happy Hiking!!!
Awesome video! 👍
Thanks so much Harry! I’ve always appreciated your support and encouragement. Fist bumps my friend ~ Miyagi
This was pretty awesome for just part 1. I do think my idea for the title was a little catchier but whatcha gonna do right. 🤣
I do believe this is where I'm dragging my son next fall. Thanks Miyagi.
Your title choice was number #1 but the CZcams police made me change it. 😂 😆 😝. Your son will love it! Friggin magical every step of the way. Thanks Mike!!
Epic trip so far! Can't wait to see more!
Thanks for explaining the differences between camp sites. I almost feel like I was there with you guys; you all did a great job of capturing your adventure but this vid really caps it off. Nice to see the prelude too.
Thanks so much Richard! I always keep in mind that my camera lens is a portal for others to see through my own eyes. My hope is to provide that inspiration for others who want to go out there and have their own adventures. I appreciate your support and encouragement. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Wow man you did an amazing job filming and editing. Can't wait for part two. It's been really cool seeing each of your perspectives. Thanks for sharing.
This is an incredible video Myagai!! Love the scenery and that was a great group of friends to go with. Ribbon Falls was absolutely incredible!! I’ve always wanted to do this trail. Would you do it again with some Kentucky boys?? Myagai you are an excellent film maker. Incredible job!! Those scorpions was really cool. Was they glowing?? Can’t wait to see part 2
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Incredible scenery!!! You have some really interesting uploads in your channel❤️😊Congratulations 👏
Thanks so much Costa!! I appreciate you following along. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Woah Miyagi you truly have outdone yourself with this trip video!! Cannot believe how you capture some of those shots of the Canyon vistas you were blessed to see, really top notch quality. Really love how you educate us viewers about the trip as you go. What an an awesome adventure, can’t wait for part 2!!
Awesome trip and video. Looking forward to part 2! Just found your channel and subscribed. - from a cousin of yours in Montana. ;)
No kidding!? That’s awesome!! Thanks so much for stopping by and subscribing to the channel. Much appreciated! Montana’s on my list!!
@@MiyagiontheTrail No kidding! I'll send you a private note and let you know the relation (don't want to do it on the interwebz/youtubez comments). Lots of hiking/backpacking in fantastic wilderness around here. Look me up if you want to come out.
Awesome!! Will do for sure!
Well done
Thanks Greg! Much appreciated!
Another great hike! We always enjoy these. Can't wait to catch the next! 🤙
Thanks so much! Busy working on so many trip videos. I really do put my heart in them. I appreciate you following along!
Very nice!
Amazing footage! I would love to get to the point of being physically capable of doing some hikes like this someday! I have a ways to go but I WILL get there. Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
OMG!!!! Fantastic
Thanks Scott!
Man the clarity and details are awsome. If you don't mind me asking what camera/lenes did you use? I believe the visuals were worth the extra weight.
Thanks Music in Miles! I’m using the Canon M50.
Such a cool trip~ It is so beautiful there. Holy cow, you are right the views are epic. I loved watching your different perception of the trip than the others. Great video!!!
Thanks so much Kathy!! It was such a beautiful place & memorable trip. I appreciate your kind words. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Great video. Looking forward to seeing it myself next year. Question. You had a hydration line coming out of your smart water bottle. Is that an osprey water line cut?
Hi Rick. The hydration line is from a company called SourceOutdoors.com. The product is the “Convertube Adapter” $24. I just shortened the tube length so the bite valve is in reach of my mouth while hiking and the bottle is mounted in my shoulder pouch. @waymarkgear has a similar product out now too. The “One Bottle Hydration System” looks similar at $29.
Awesome video. I learned a ton. What pack and microspikes do you use/recommend?
Thanks Brent! For my pack I’m using two versions of the Waymark backpack 🎒. For anything less than a two day trip with ultralight gear I’m using the Waymark “Mile” backpack. For everything else I’ve been using the Waymark Gear Company’s “Thru UL 40 liter”. It’s got a super awesome harness system that doesn’t wear on my shoulders after 30+ miles on trail. Robust material and light enough that I’m not breaking the bank at all trying to stay as light as possible. I’m super happy with their pack lineup!! For micro spikes I’m using the Kahtoola MICROspikes. They’ve been going strong for a few years now. Thanks for tuning in & the great questions. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
camping is nah for me BUT every time I hike I only have 2-12 hrs to do that hike 💔
Well Done Miyagi 👊 Love all the editing, voiceover, graphics, music and most importantly the content. Your passion and fun that you portray is infectious 👍 Unbelievable opportunity and beautiful way of capturing it. Thank YOU for bringing us along and sharing it with us 🎒🏕👊🇺🇸
You have a straw connector on your water bottle. Do you have a link for that? What brand is it? Great video thanks!
Hey Lynne! Sorry…just noticed I didn’t respond to this one. My apologies. The company I used was the Source Convertube Kit: amzn.to/3yrMZ8k. A cheaper option is available from Lixada:amzn.to/3Fckca8
This was a great video but I can’t seem to find part 2. Am I missing something?
How long did it take you to get to Phantom Ranch? Then how long did it take to get to Cottonwood CG from Phantom. Lastly how long was it to hike up to North Rim from Cottonwood. I'm doing this exact route/stop in May. Thank you in advance, and great video.
Hey Sam! We left at daybreak and make it down to the ranch just before noon. We were going quite slow though because everyone was filming. Same deal for Cottonwood. Lots of filming and an extended break at Ribbon Falls. Made it to Cottonwood with about an hour and a half to sunset. I used the Old Bright Angel trail to get up to the North Rim the second day. Not recommended as it’s 90% bushwhacking through relatively unmarked trail. If you’re staying on the North Kaibab trail it’s a walk in the park….just elevation you have to deal with. It’s 6.43 miles from Cottonwood to the Ken Patrick trailhead. I’d plan a slower pace maybe 2mph or so to account for photography stops and breaks. Maybe a conservative 3-4 hours unless you just like pounding the miles.
What time of year did you all go? Trying to plan a future trip and wondering good times to go (not too hot)!
Not too hot is the ticket! We went in Nov 16-22. Was perfect!
@@MiyagiontheTrail thanks! Loved the video and new subscriber, looking forward to more!
Much appreciated!!!!! Thanks so much for subscribing to the channel.
What was the date of this trip ?
November 2020
Easy ass hike
Piece of cake bruh 😎
I watched this and what I was able to see of the Grand Canyon was great. My suggestion is more Grand Canyon and less of your face. It’s not a bad face, but I tuned in to watch the hike and see the canyon. You can talk and still allow us to see the areas you are talking about.
😂 😂
Absolutely loved this video!! Amazing scenery! The glow in the dark scorpions were super cool too!
Thanks so much!! The scenery was incredible. Not used to having 24/7 scenery when I hike. 😂. I learned that scorpion trick by watching someone else’s video. It is absolutely incredible to watch all of these glowing creatures crawling around the desert. 🦂 I appreciate your support. Merry Christmas! Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
