Great job everyone! Don't let the internet experts who have commented on here get you down. It might have not been the cleanest hike, but you guys did it. I accomplished a rim-to-rim-to-rim hike of the Grand Canyon in mid October of 2016. I was 51 years old then. I hiked from the South Rim to the North Rim, stayed over night. I maybe got two hours of sleep. Then I hiked back to the South Rim the next day. It was brutal, especially climbing up to the North Rim. It was so windy and cold. I thought I was going to die, but I made it. In the end, making it is all that matters.
Yeah, it’s all fun and games until people die which they do all the time in the Grand Canyon. I think two hikers have died in the last month. Don’t encourage this nonsense.
I just came across your channel and wow…That was impressive! Also you go to school with one of my favorite RUclipsrs son. Caleb Leach (Keep your daydream) So cool.
I have but one question ??? WHY ? When people attempt stunts like this, they not only put themselves at risk . But risk the lives of others . Food for thought 🤔...
GPS watches don't read accurately there. Your son's mileage was 46. Your wife's was 22. You and your daughter did 24. The way you guys did this was incredibly dangerous: Time of year. Time of day. Lack of proper training. Not knowing where you were, or the mileages to all of the significant locations (rest stops) and how far between each. No full brim shade hats, and your daughter in no hat with her entire neck, head, face, and shoulders frying in the high altitude sun. Tank top on your daughter, exposing so much of her to the sun. Not getting hair and shirts wet at every single water location, and in the all the creek crossings, as well as along Bright Angel Creek from Wall Creek, all the way to Phantom. Separating from mom and leaving her to fend for herself for over an hour on the climb, and who knows how long she was actually walking solo, and again, lack of training, lack of sun protection, not getting hair and clothing wet. 2 people have already been found dead on the River Trail (the section in the Gorge, from Black Bridge to the River Delta Rest Stop) this season, (in the last month), and it's "this" kind of hiking in the Canyon that leads to either needing to be rescued, or worse. With so much information available on RUclips alone, plus the video that Park Service released in April (posted on the NPS website, as well as here in YT), it's hard to understand the 4 of you going into the Canyon for more than a couple miles. I started backpacking there with wife in 2007, and we returned in 2008 with our 8yr old daughter, and came back year, after year. In 2015, My daughter and I started running R2R's, mid-Aug, on our birthdays, when she turned 16. We did that together 5yrs in a row, and then I started doing 2 a year, solo. Was just there at the end of May to run another Rim2River, as a speed run. I'll be there mid-Aug, to celebrate my 61st with another R2R run (we run them we don't walk or use poles). We/I rescue people like yourselves almost every trip in the Canyon, and we carry extra electrolyte and GU Roctane for such efforts, and it's a real disappointment to turn our vacation experience and training, into a rescue operation.
Thanks for watching my video! We actually each had our own water bag which were 2L each. We also filled them up at each stop which amounted to around 2 gallons total that we each drank while adding electrolytes. We also ate a variety of different foods which included salty snacks.
Thank you for watching my video! I had a hat packed with me! I also had a bandana that I would dip in the cold water along with applying sunscreen often!
You guys are amazing but you guys did this with no supplies or first aid..yeah you had gps but you guys are taking a Chance here.and why people get rested all the time even the best of them
Actually lots of time, tectonic activity, erosion created that. Not some god. Why would he? To torture you? Gods created in man’s image do cruel things like that. So human.
I mean I have a Master's in Geological Engineering. Your dad seems to not know how the Grand Canyon was formed, because he keeps referencing some deity. I can definitely give him a class.

I played college soccer with your dad and by watching this video, it doesn’t look like he’s lost a step! Great video and glad you guys crushed it
That’s awesome!! My dad has talked about you! I loved doing the hike with him!

Thank you for watching my video and leaving this encouraging comment! It means a lot. Thats so cool to hear about your adventure and experience!
Outstanding! I recently did a Grand Canyon 50 mile all along the north rim - tough experience! Can’t imagine dropping down into that heat as well!
Congratulations!!!
Thank you it was such an amazing hike and adventure!!
Inexperience. Gotta love it. Glad we did not end up reading of your demise in the newspaper.
I just came across your channel and wow…That was impressive! Also you go to school with one of my favorite RUclipsrs son. Caleb Leach (Keep your daydream) So cool.
Not a wise thing to do in a day. Glad you made it.
Wow
Crazy
Incredible
👍👍😎
Thanks for watching!!
Congrats on your great accomplishment. Great video.
Thank you! It was so amazing!!! Let’s do it again!
Something about this young woman’s style of speaking is pretty cool. Is it an accent? I don’t know what it is but it’s very different and I like it
How not to hike the GC.
I have but one question ??? WHY ? When people attempt stunts like this, they not only put themselves at risk . But risk the lives of others . Food for thought 🤔...
Because it is there

Find ten things wrong with this video. Should be pretty easy because there’s so much to choose from.
Is that all the water you guys had? Two backpacks worth?

@@Gracieraelarson Oh good, gave me anxiety just thinking about that! Lol
You should wear a hat.

Absolutely reckless!
You shouldn’t be hiking in the Grand Canyon in these temperatures at all, let alone rim to rim. 🤦♀️
