Once you arrive at the northrim Grand Canyon is there any hotels to stay at if starting at north rim

Didn't watch your entire video but watched enough of your actuals R2R2R video to get the gist of what was going on. There are two things that stand out: training & nutrition/hydration. It doesn't appear you were adequately trained or experienced enough to attempt a double crossing, especially considering you ended up with rhabdo after completing half the hike. On the nutrition/hydration front, did you train outdoors with the items you planned on using for nutrition and hydration? I'm talking about, at least, several all day training sessions outdoors with what you planned to use in the GC. I'm going off of the commentary where you mentioned going to REI in PHX to get advice on what to take and was that something you were trying to figure out on your way to the attempt. Don't know where you live, btw, as your vid just randomly hit my YT feed but looks like it may in the PNW based on the vids you post. The REI comment was just a red flag for me. I'm 181 lbs and target 300 calories/hr and consume every 20 minutes to keep caloric levels, more or less, consistent (definitely wouldn't take 300 at once as it's difficult for the body to manage that properly in one hit). BTW, I would be using easily digestible "foods". Gels come to mind. If it was an easier physical effort, I would add some solids in (i.e. bars) but still lean towards gels. I'm familiar with hydration challenges as I'm a heavy sweater. Not a fan of bladders as it's really difficult to accurately monitor fluid consumption during these types of extended efforts and the need to balance electrolyte consumption with ounces of fluid consumed per hour. I would be consuming 20 to 40oz of fluids/hr, depending on the temps. Hopefully, some of this general info is helpful. Selfishly, I would like to see others avoid similar outcomes as the popularity of doing R2R2R is high and not taken with the proper preparation. This often results in those that do these types of things, myself included, to get the side-eye from rangers and seen as reckless without knowing our outdoor experience/backgrounds. I did R2R2R when I was 48 (I'm way older now) with my wife: Bright Angel TH out and back to the North Rim in 13 hours. I was knackered when I got to the NR TH because I had stupidly only eaten 3 gels but the trip back was way better as I kept on top of calories and hydration, so it can happen to anyone. That was in the month of October when water was still available at Cottonwood and Supai tunnel (btw, since the pipe from the north rim is now out of service, I would, personally, never attempt a R2R2R until they repair/replace it).

Did R3 nearly 15 yrs ago.. took close to 23 hours. Ran out of electrolytes on the final ascent but fortunately another hiker (we had 3) had a bit of Gatorade left and so was able to finish. Would you do the hike solo again? I probably wouldn’t myself.. too many things could go wrong outside of my control.

Where were they headed?

You’re the goat! Er… you saw the goat, same difference!

Nice winter hike. Lovely scenery 😊wishing you a Happy New Year 😊

Love the drone footage! What a morning and a perfect way to celebrate. Happy birthday! I may have wheezed and had a bit of an asthma attack just watching you climb.

What's all of that white stuff? PS - Happy birthday!

Snow covered N Cascades on the perfect morning for a snow shoe trek. Nice drone coverage, too.

very beautiful and interesting. I really enjoyed this stunning video.

The hike to Watson Falls looks stunning with those cascading waters. I enjoy following your outdoor adventures in Oregon! 💖

So beautiful place, stunning scenes Great adventure video, thanks for sharing 👍Like 8 Greetings from new subscriber and friend 😀👋

Wonderful place 😍 Fantastic sharing 👍

Wonderful Like 6 !

Love it! Great footage!

Dramatic drone shots climbing and hovering above Watson Falls in SW Oregon Cascades. 2:32

Spectacular perspective of an Oregon treasure.

Hello my friend! Love ya channel! Leaving a sub. Found ya on Ervinslens chat. Take care!

One of the most beautiful scenic highways in the Pacific Northwest!

Stunning!

Looks like a beautiful place!

glad your recovering & will be able to continue hiking!! You have to look back at where you were what you did huge accomplishment!!!

Thanks for the video and the tips. I read from an experienced hiker to help with training for hiking downhill is to use an elliptical by going backwards. You are using different muscles. It was super helpful since I live where we don't have mountains. The Cuyahoga Valley National Park near us is great with some large hills but nothing like out west.

Awesome trip!

This hike looks and feels amazing my friend!

What an awesome trip. I can’t believe you managed to hit so many sites in 1 day!

What a lovely scenery man, these shots are absolutely amazing!

Beautiful hike, a ‘peak’ adventure indeed!

I just did south kaibab trail to phantom ranch yesterday. Took me 7 hours to do the round trip. It was awesome. But my only struggle was coming back at the last mile my legs were starting to cramp up. I stopped foe a bit and rested and made it back fine. I definitely want to do it again it was great challenge. I stayed at grand canyon plaza. Pretty decent place and great experience.

It doesn’t get much prettier than autumn in the PNW!

What a great hike! You’ve added yet another hike to my spring bucket list

Early hikes are the BEST! Also you crushed this one!

So beautiful! I'd be tempted to jump in after 1,400 feet of climbing, even if it wasn't all that warm. Is swimming allowed?

I've never been so early before haha! What a beautiful hike. Congrats on getting this one done!

Great hike looks well worth it, great job my friend 😊👍👍

This trail was unbelievably beautiful!! Disappointed we didn't getting a crashing meteorite, but gorgeous nonetheless 😋

TIL what a larch is...thanks!

Awesome as always!

Great hike and breaky too! Looks like a great way to spend your weekend

Hello hiking friend. Nature is so beautiful and you have captured it beautifully. Thank you for sharing. 💕 Keep exploring and sharing!

Amazing day and views!

The North Cascades really do look like a special place. Also, nice singing!

Gorgeous opening shot my friend! Outstanding panoramic views on this trail!

Beautiful hike! Definitely one for the PNW bucket list

Beautiful! The colors as you were descending were so lovely…

I have done an R2R2R. It took me 15 hrs to go the 42 miles. I went down and up S Kaibab. I stayed away from Bright Angel. Some input.....150-200 calories/ hr. 20-24 oz of water with electrolyte tab dropped in. It's very easy to drop an electrolyte tab into a water bladder! Just fill with water and drop the tab in. An extra bottle just for electrolyte water is wasted weight. There is water available on the trail approx every 7 miles. No need to carry more than 2 liters. Carry calorically dense food. Sugar based burns too quickly. Get the best bang for the buck by using high calorie, high fat stuff, like nuts, nut butters, some cookies that are high in fat content. Avoid gels as they supply only a very quick burst of energy from the sugar hit then they are gone. Carbs only have 4 cal/gram. Fat gas 9 cal/ gram. Sugar is like burning newspaper. Fat is like burning an oak log. Also, very critical... protein must be consumed! 5 to 10 grams/hr. This is key. Easy to use foods that are high in cal/oz, have good fat content, and have protein. Thank you for your video.

Absolutely gorgeous work my friend! This looks great!

Rim to rim running and single day to rim hiking is ruining the corridor in Grand Canyon. It taxes the infrastructure beyond its capacity and is incredibly negatively impactful.

Guessing the creature at 6:40 is a Pika? TIL a new verb..."meeping." Thanks! Road didn't look too bad. Do you think you need a high clearance vehicle to get to the trailhead?

Always making me add hikes to my list I see! That glacier is awesome.
