Hiking the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim is THE classic bucket list adventure and by far one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had. It’s sensory overload with stunning views, tons of wildlife, and a solitude you can’t find on the rim. This 24-mile hike from the North Rim to the South Rim is challenging to be sure and preparation is key which is why we’ve compiled dozens of essential hiking tips for going rim to rim.
Note: The National Park Services recently announced a series of trail closures due to construction which will impact access over the next couple of years. This temporary pause could be the perfect opportunity to train and prepare for the experience of a lifetime and exclusive bragging rights. Fewer than one percent of the nearly 6 million annual visitors to the Grand Canyon ever hike to the bottom. Happy Trails!

Great video! I'm 66 and I did my first rim 2 rim 2 hike months ago on October 19th. It took me 14 hours going from South rim to North rim, down the South Kaibab and up the North Kaibab. I know it would have been smarter to do it like you guys did but I wanted to see if I could do it. And I'm very proud that I made it! :)

Enjoyed the video and how you two took your time over multiple days versus one day. We are wanting to hike the rim to rim and doing it in two to four days is the most appealing. Thanks.

Nice job on this guys! We started backpacking there in 2007, as a family. My daughter and I started running R2R to celebrate our birthdays, mid-Aug, when she was 15 and I was 52. We ran 5 in a row, and she just joined me for her 6th, in '22. We also run the Rim2River (with a turn around at Phantom). Just ran my 11th R2R on my 60th, and out-jumped a rattlesnake strike, about 200yds before Phantom. Couldn't hear the rattle because of the buzzing of the Cicadas in the trees. Came back 7wks later, to run it again, but as a speed run. Love it there!

With 2 friends, I did the R2R N2S in 1978. Day 1 to Phantom. Day 2 South Kaibab. I fell in love with the Canyon and go back every year. No R2R these days, though.

I did rim to rim in 2015. Originally the goal was to do it in 1 shot, but easier said than done especially if you have a large group. If that is your plan I would make your group small and make sure they are in shape. If you choose to go with bigger group, then I would suggest you break the trip into 2 days. There is an outpost in the basin called Phantom Ranch that serves food and lemonade, as well as rents AC'd cabins with bunk beds. Camp the night and start out in the morning. It is so hot in that basin, I would suggest staying the night and leaving early before the Sun comes up.

Good videography but there were some errors in mileages and in percentages of the trail hiked at various waypoints. What especially concerns me is your suggestion that backpackers carry no more than 25% of their body weight. Some viewers will think of that 25% as their target--a big mistake. That would be 50 pounds for a 200-pound man, an unnecessarily large amount. Without going ultralight, one can carry everything needed--sufficient clothing, food, water, and safety items--for between 25 and 30 pounds. For many hikers, saving 20 to 25 pounds could mean the difference between a hard but successful hike and a painful and possibly SAR'd hike. I noticed that your packs were large, so I wasn't surprised to see that at your meal breaks you pulled out Tupperware containers. I never before had seen hikers doing that, and it made me think that your packs contained many things that could have been left at home or, at least, could have been switched out for lighter alternatives (such as ziplock bags instead of Tupperware). Your video is aimed at novices to Grand Canyon, and I wouldn't want them to imagine that carrying heavy packs is "doable" for them. For most people, it's not. The North Rim opens around May 15. That still counts as spring, but at the Colorado River the temperature can exceed 100F in mid May--and then comes the toughest part of the hike, the uphill slog. Every pound saved (within prudent limits) will make for a safer and less painful hike to the South Rim.

The flood, in the times of Noah, created the Grand Canyon. The Colorado is not large enough to create the Grand Canyon.

If you ever go to the Grand Canyon, take the bus out to Hermits Rest, walk around and look at all the ocean fossils in the rocks. You'll see them at other places along the S. Rim, in the white rock. This upper layer was the floor of the ocean, until it began to rise. So the Canyon is basically the crack in a now 8,000-somthing foot tall mountain, that is several hundred miles in diameter. Driving to the Canyon from SoCal, you can see how the "mountain" starts to rise, from about Needles, CA, and continues to rise all the way to the actual Canyon. It's basically a huge dome that broke through the middle, and kept cracking open wider and deeper, as the dome rose.

Hike the GC in windy conditions and get sand blasted.... It wasn't eroded by water alone and it's still happening.
