Grand Canyon South Rim to Rim Virtual Trail Guide (South Kaibab to Bright Angel)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- I hiked the Grand Canyon South Rim to Rim, also known as the rim to river to rim, starting on the South Kaibab Trail and ending on the Bright Angel Trail. This was a fun yet strenuous day hike. I added on Plateau Point for a total of 20.5 miles + an additional 2.5 miles along the rim back to my car. with 5,000ft of elevation gain. This hike took place on a slightly smoky, breezy October day.

❤saludos🇨🇱🏜🏔
Super video! I applauded for $5.00 👏👏
Thanks very much 🤟🏽
I did the same day hike on Sep 29th, minus the Plateau. It was great. But yes warm to hot at the bottom. Great vid quality. Thanks for the share.
Did this hike many years ago, its so beautiful and you are right that the cameras just cant do it justice! Love the content man
A must do for sure. I've done both SK to BA, and NK to BA. Easy to underestimate the canyon!
Hey man, I love the channel. Thanks for this overview of the Grand Canyon!
Like you, I'm from Colorado, but the Grand Canyon is on many trail running bucket lists (including mine.)
Keep up the nice work, hope you are doing well.
Its a beauty and thanks glad you enjoy the content.
That’s it! I HAD to subscribe after this video. I personally love some of the nat parks but the crowds are getting ridiculous. I actually saw some graffiti tagging on some rocks in Bryce during the pandemic.
Living in Utah but gonna hit escalante after your videos. Also doing the needles district back country in May.
Hoping to see this guy on 4000ers in the Alps! Thank you for this great content.
I would LOVE to make that happen!
Nice views. Were all the pictures from the GoPro? I think the nice shade on Bright Angel refers to the recommended time of day, after 4PM (NPS-Avoid 10AM to 4PM)
All my video gear is linked in the video description but yeah, most of this was filmed on a gopro with some b roll using the Iphone.
Did that hike in 2010 without Plateau Point, wish I had included it. The hike should be on everyones list. Finishing the hike with cold beer at the El Tovar was a nice reward for a long day.
Agree, such a beautiful loop. Saved my cold one for back at the car and it was body armor 😂
LET's GO!!!!
Nice video, and scenery!! What was the camera you used to record while walking?
all gear linked in the video description
👍
Not my preferred way to hike going down first and then up, guess that is the only way to do the Grand Canyon. Don't know anyone who has ever visited the Grand Canyon for the first time and not found it to be more Grand than they expected a beautiful place.
It truly is a very beautiful place.
@@TheVirtualsherpa National Parks seem to be great places to visit but not so great for recreating.
how long did it take you

Is the trail narrow? I get vertigo, but it's not bad on the wide trail.
Try to show it as best I can throughout the video. It’s never more narrow then 3-4 feet.
I have vertigo too and it was not a problem at all. Some of the best trails you will find anywhere.
Any idea what the drive time from Denver is, Mickey?
13ish hours with the eastern entrance being closed.
@@TheVirtualsherpa Yikes! Cheers
Big fan of your videos, but I still feel like I have to be that guy and say it. This is what's commonly known as Rim to River. The Rim to Rim monicker is pretty specifically reserved for going from one side of the canyon and crossing to the other. I know it's not that big of a deal but it might mislead people not familiar with the canyon.
I understand but when you watch the video or look at the thumbnail its clear as day as to what I am doing. Thanks for the feedback.
@@TheVirtualsherpa you've clearly and appropriately titled it. And actually I think if you had titled it Rim to River it would mislead more people into thinking its a one way day hike to camp at the bottom.
