    "If we can't protect the Grand Canyon, what CAN we protect?" - I just watched the entire documentary on DISNEY+ and was blown away. THANK YOU to Kevin and Pete for taking this bold, insane, demoralizing, life-threatening journey so that I could see and feel why the Grand Canyon is so precious and sacred, and why it's so incredibly important to protect her.

    Classic line. I'm literally LOL. I've listened to that part about 10 times. Great delivery! Hilarious.

    They want to give the average person the same view as a fit hiker (or one willing to undergo the pain), but I don't like that. Not everything is meant to be average

      ULTRANAUT well said...what's next? party barges? building concrete barricades all around the rim so somebody can't fall? how about building many small dams to control the river so the lowest common denominator of inner tuber is safe? that developer makes me puke when he gets cosmic about how a person would feel about their place in the universe...

    I'm on the side of Saving the Confluence. It's one thing to have man made attractions like Mount Rushmore, but I've always felt that there's something special and sacred about the cayon that should leave it untouched by man.
    Is there a place to petition against this project?

    we have similar problem in Bali. there is a bay called Benoa Bay, that are suposed to be conservation area and sacred area for Balinese. The goverment changes the regulation so the developer could continue to develop by doing reclamation to the bay. They want the bay to be like Disnyland with 5* resorts and facilities surounded by mangroves. The protest still going and strong resistance from the people make the project into a halt.

    The confluence attraction? Can't we please just leave something as spectacular as the Grand Canyon alone. Please don't let the grandeur fall victim to greed. I live in a historical Tennessee town that has historical civil war relevance. There was a rock outcropping along a river near at the site of a Union fort. There were initials and dates scratched into the rock, dating to the pre-civil war, but mostly the civil war. Hadn't been there for years, but decided to take my children there to see the site. We get there and the park district, in all their wisdom, built a deck over it. Very disappointing. Leave things alone.

      CraigX Rubin . ....you know what I was thinking those hikers are going too fast and dehydrating themselves, they need to hike about five hours a day when the sun is not hot two and a half hours hiking in the morning and another two and a half hours hiking in the evening just before sunset to keep healthy and do some fishing in their rest time making a little grilled fish for proteins. I really admire these guys hiking this grand canyon and look forward to see the part 2 of this wonderful adventure.

    First of all, are you trying to convince me that this hike was inherently hard? Or did you geniuses just make it hard? I have to wonder why on Earth you didn't take liquid or encapsulated electrolyte supplements, water filters or desalinators, iodine tablets, titanium cookware, perhaps a crossbow or lightweight fishing rod to hunt with if shit gets bad enough? It looks like you took cameras and blankets. Gentlemen I'm sorry but this is no way to trek in the 21st century
