- I love the Grand Canyon. Most trail runners wait for peak conditions in October for the quest of completing R2R2R. Since I've already accomplished this feat, I enjoy getting the canyon in the off months during the winter. So, I decided to make a video this time and share the experience of what it's like being in the Grand Canyon on a trail running journey in January. Get the popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the beauty from your Colorado 14er finisher favorite hiking professor!
Wow, how cool, I was just talking about the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. Nice timing.
You are incredible. Ageless in shape and truly amazing. If you are in Indiana we can climb our highest point. Take care
I missed you comment Daniel! I'd take you up on that!
Awesome video! Great footage!
Moving to Arizona in 2023 and cant wait to do this one with my Wife!
Nothing like the Grand Canyon!
I really enjoyed that. From someone who wishes he could be trail running the grand canyon but doesn't have the time working 80 hours a week. Thank you very much
For years I worked many hours a week, maybe even sometimes 80. I'm fortunate that I don't have to be in that position anymore.
WOW that is one intense run!! so many amazing views along the way and so nice you get it all to yourself like that!! we can feel the quiet along the trail.. thanks for taking us with you
It was fantastic being ALONE in the Grand Canyon. For miles, there was no one. That's becoming more and more rare as so many are discovering more challenging adventures.
I was Stoked to Hike the Peacefully Solitary Winter Canyon; till all the Mud & Ice! 😜😂 Especially Beautiful Video ~ So Many Treats to the Peepers! 😍 & Phenomenal Job Trail Running that Wonder! 🏃♂️ It was Fun Racing across the Bridge with you & those Sunbeams on the Trail ~ Wow! 🌞😍😮
Thanks Jennifer! So many sunbeams, such little time right? :-)
@@FoorTrek 🌞❤️
Best time to go...!! End of Nov. is good too :) Lovely for me to view these...my legs can't do it anymore..LOLOL...(past expiration date)
Completely agree on late November!
Amazing job, from one of those October Rim to Rim guys, ha!
Right back to you :-)
You are so blessed 😊
Absolutely Bill. Nature brings good tidings and the fact I can accomplish such feats brings me joy, love, gratitude, and humility.
Was here in Jan, was not able to make it to the ranch but to Indian Gardens... still an amazing experience. I did the phantom ranch trek in the spring a couple years back and it was spectacular!
That's fantastic. Any chance to get into the canyon and experience it's good tidings is a wonderful day!
So many great places to see in Arizona.
Preach it! :-)
I love GC in the winter, cuts down on the people. Weather in the canyon is magical. NK has incredible waterfalls during rainstorms but you have to be a brave r2r2r, going when North is closed and weather is “bad”, to ever see them. You have to be confident in your gear too, I’ve been in rain, snow, wind, warm, sunny with temps from 14F to 70F.. all on the same day.
Sad to see all the empty campsites, people don’t know what they are missing.
Great video ! stunning views ! Thank you so much for sharing ☺️🙏. I was in the NV spring mountains for a six mile loop after the first snow in October and I saw one person at the trail head before me and not a single soul after that during my entire hike it was sublime .
Now that's a wonderful journey indeed!
Love your videos
I truly appreciate the love. 🤙
Thank you for sharing your amazing hiking videos, especially the Grand Canyon videos, which inspired me so much. On Oct 2016, for the first time, my husband and I hiked from South Kaibab down to the river back up to Bright Angel trail head in one day. Since then, we have come to Grand Canyon to hike every year.
I love to hear it! Thanks for telling me and I hope you and your husband inspire others to get outdoors. :-)

You've got something special Professor and it's contagious. Thank you for sharing it with us.
12 mountains left, let's goooo!!! 🤙
Ever considered some Pacific Northwest stratovolcanoes? I think they're beckoning me... but you first! 😂
Thanks for being a part of the journey Pete. Just 12 to go! :-) I have considered the pacific northwest. It's absolutely beautiful there!
In April 1961 I hiked from Phantom Ranch to the South Rim carrying a pack filled with fossils from the Bass Formation and it was raining at the start of the hike out and about one-third of the way up the rain turned to snow. John
🤗🐕🏃🏔️🌵🏜️
Now that sounds like a fantastic story to share John.
Simply wonderful! Twice I walked the South Kaibab, spent a couple of nights at Phantom Ranch, and then the big walk up the Bright Angel to the top. Now because of spinal paralysis I can experience the Canyon only through videos like this one. So appreciative of your making this - wish it was longer. Your panting during the last three miles of the Bright Angel is truly indicative of finishing this hike, but running on the ice seems scary to me. During April one only has to look out on the trail for snakes and the occasional mountain goat.
The best compliment, "I wish it was longer". Thank you! Yes, my videos are the journey. The easy, the challenging, the adventure and rewards. If it's hard, you'll hear it. As for running on ice, Colorado is amazing training ground for this. Get some kahtoola microspikes and you'll never look back.
I enjoyed the video. Thanks! All your videos inspire me to hike more, push further and get out in nature.
That was an incredible feat of fitness! I bet the mules were impressed too!
Coincidentally I just got a last minute 2 night permit to camp at Indian Garden and Bright Angel.
I’ve always wanted to do this hike and at age 65 it’s now or never!
I’m going to just keep saying “You gotta love the uphill” on the way up!
Congrats on the permit. You will absolutely love it. When are you going?
@@FoorTrek I arrived at The Bright Angel Campground this morning! Just had a lemonade and climbed up the trail a little ways to get cell service. This place is amazing! Lots of day hikers coming through campground is full! The ice at the top of Bright Angel was interesting!! That was smart to bring micro spikes!
Dude! That was hardcore. :O
Thank you! It was a beautiful day for sure!
Can you tell us what your favorite electrolytes are and how often do you take them. I'm a hiker, not a runner,
REDMOND Re-Lyte Hydration Electrolyte Mix
wow still kind muddy
This is from January.
If you ever want support on a technical climb please look me up, I can capture you at your best and share some camera moves. Hopefully your inspiring attitude will rub off on me! Please come visit and I think you’ll appreciate the cinematic strides I’ve been making! Your friend, Karl
Thanks Karl! I really appreciate that. Your work is quite inspiring and you've got some amazing camera angles!
