    A hiker in a sports coat? That's okay, you know what you're talking about. Thank you for the useful tips and advice.

      LOL. It was cool and I was trying to look respectable. I am most comfortable in a t-shirt, but anything for RUclips!

      Thanks so much for watching. Even though the time in the room is short, it is really refreshing to get off the trail, get cleaned up and fed, and get a short rest.

      I completely agree! How do you feel about hiking in the dark? 1 am start sounds hard!

    • @GC-Hiker
      @GC-Hiker  8 месяцев назад +1

      @@immnotaboutthatlife2086 It is a compromise I am willing to make to get done with the hike in the daylight. And, actually I must admit I enjoy the solitude on the trail at night, and the view of the stars and the sunrise. I don't sleep that well before a hike, so I am often up anyway.

    Read last watched, and missed the part in the end where you're standing in front of the kaibab trail. That's pretty clever.

    This is a really nice video. I never thought about 2 lamps - great idea. I am taking new people with me next year and will have them watch this video. Great point about how much of the canyon is psychological!

    • @GC-Hiker
      @GC-Hiker  4 месяца назад +1

      Thanks so much! The two lamps have really worked out well for me. Plus, I run the lower lamp on low, so I get better run time in case the headlamp runs out. The mental preparation is an important part of the hike for me. I appreciate your comment.

    I think I'll only go once in a lifetime, so I'll probably prioritize the view over the price. I would love to experience the Grand Canyon😊👍
