Why Grand Canyon National Park restricted South Kaibab trail | South Kaibab to Bright Angel 4K HDR

- The South Kaibab trail is one of the three rim to rim corridor trails, and as such is one of the most popular trails into the canyon. In this video, we'll hike down the south Kaibab trail, across the Tonto Trail, and then up the Bright Angel Trail while discussing how Grand Canyon National Park emergency rescue teams were overwhelmed in the 1990s and why access to the South Kaibab trailhead has been restricted for close to thirty years.
The internet and online culture are absolutely brimming with bucket list, must dos, and top 10 lists and so on. But could it be that those lists are not only sabotaging park visitors, leading to people delving too deep, and resulting in skyrocketing emergency incidents within the canyon? And might those rising emergency incidents result in more restrictions in the future?

I love your attitude towards the parks. I was privileged a few years ago to spend 6 weeks at Grand Canyon at the Albright Training Center. I hiked into the canyon 4 times in that period, twice to the river. I hope more people take your advice! Seeing the canyon from the inside is special. I am a retired National Park Service Ranger.
I took a family vacation this year at the Grand Canyon with 11 family members age 66(me) to age 7. I am an avid walker and walk miles without effort, in Kansas. We had plans to hike to Beaver falls. However, I had just gotten over bronchitis and knew I could not make the trek when just hiking along the upper rim. 6 of our party hiked the first half of Bright Angel. Everyone wanted to see a waterfall so we took a day trip to Waterwheel waterfall about 1.5 hours away. Love your video of the Kaibab trail. I would not be able to hike that due to my fear of heights. I will live vicariously through your video!
Good trail video. I did this hike June 23, 2007. It was 120º at 3pm at the Indian Gardens Ranger station. I drank 7 liters of water and Gatorade. Witnessed 1 heat-stroke rescue at the river. I made the round-trip in 12 hours. Going down South Kaibab and up Bright Angel is the best way to go. The views going down SK are unobstructed and widely varied. The hike up Bright Angel has water, and is shaded during the afternoon hours.
Thank you for the privilege of sharing this trek with you. Beautiful scenery-I loved all the wildlife! Take care and be well ❤️
I took this exact trail. Took a half day to hike down then spent a couple nights at phantom ranch and a day hiking up. Over exerted myself hiking up the bright angel trail because I was trying to beat an incoming snow storm. Hiked up with a back pack in about 6 hours (including lunch and bathroom stops). Also the water at the rest stops was off due to the early season. Hardest thing I ever did but I made it!
This is a beautiful video that was almost ruined by a rant about social media that just went too long. During the rant some incredible scenery went by without mention and the graphics blocked the views. While I appreciate and agree with your points, maybe a shorter version would have been sufficient! The star of your video is after all the Grand Canyon, and this video has some of the best hi-res canyon footage I've ever seen. Just outstanding scenery and photography. Thank you so much for making it. I subscribed, in spite of the rant.
You're giving really good advice, please keep up the good work. A lot of people overestimate their abilities and put themselves in dangerous situations.
This is so beautiful. Thank you for taking me/us along. This would not be my plan..I use a walker....but again, thank you for the adventure~ You have the most spectacular times. GREAT critters too! Imagine working on those trails...obviously...someone worked HARD on that.... You are so far from an "influencer"....YOU are a teacher.....and a darn good one at that!
Enjoyed this Grand Canyon insight on restricted and non restricted trails. I'm an old guy who still gets around pretty good for my age. It's nice to learn the truths about popular national parks, the hazards to consider and a preview of the beautiful sights that can be had. My wife and I have just retired and plan to visit many national parks, taking our time to enjoy it all at a leisurely pace. Thanks.
Beautiful footage, spectacular scenery! I totally concur with your advice to people to be sure they are prepared and fit for hiking in wilderness areas. Good show.
Recently discovered your channel. Very impressive!!!👍😃👍
Do you mind sharing what time of year you did this trek through the canyon? I loved the video! Between the wildlife, the weather, and the amount of people you saw- it looks like the perfect time of year to go!
Thank you for your informative videos and tips. We’re heading to Grand Canyon this summer and love the information you provide.
Thank you for the great video I did RIM2RIM last July It was Amazing thank you for the information 👏👏👏👏👏🙏💯❤️
Great video. Thank you, Mike.
The day hike down the South Kaibab and then up the Bright Angle is one of the great walks in the World. It is unbelievably wonderful. However, it is harder than you think (I did it last week and I know). You need a good training program. I suggest 10,000 feet of elevation gain per week when training. I would suggest maybe 3 2,000 days and a 4000 foot day on Saturday. Or if you live in a flat region, running at least 40 miles per week at an 8-10 minute pace. Maybe doing a 15 mile long run and two ten mile runs and a 5 mile track day. If training like this seems way out of your range, then doing the hike to the river and back is out of your range also.
Definitely an awesome trail! Also great that it has plenty of bathrooms along the way, something that can't be said for every trail of its length.
Big horn sheep are bad ass creatures. They can scale a cliff in seconds with a few skips
a beautiful blue bird
Where can I find the video about training? Couldn't find it on parts 1-3? Thanks!
