Better yet, take inflatables down the river. I was in awe.

We did the loop the opposite direction with a ton of water! It’s so fun to see the canyon dry and going the other way. Thanks for posting!

I love that hike! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for the info about the meaning of the word "hamongog". I always figured it was biblical in origin, but didn't know much beyond that. 🙂 So is the Schoolhouse Spring trailhead publicly accessible? I thought it was completely off limits now - all the "no trespassing" signs at the entrance to the dirt road that leads to the old parking lot certainly seem to indicate that - but your video makes it look like that's not the case. 🤔 Either way, I've found that you can park on the street in the Three Falls area and use the mountain bike trails and the old derelict dirt roads (past the creepy abandoned youth camp - or whatever that place is😅) to get up to the First Hamongog. It worked pretty well for me when I hiked up there a few weeks ago, anyway. 🙂

What was that pink string thing?

Mike didnt like wearing his hat. Lol Great job. I think I meed to this mext year to celebrate my 65th. Thanks for bringing us along.

Wow, lots of folks on the trail.

Did you follow Adventure Allan's route?

May I recommend an original song written about the mountain wilderness? DON'T GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITHOUT ME (C)2006 James Monanan original songs.

Funnnn hike

Why does the Colorado River flow THROUGH the Kiabab Plateau instead of around it to form Grand Canyon? Find answer at kzbin.info/www/bejne/omqZfnVjh899irs

Is there a reason why you and your kids didn’t wear hiking boots?

I'm so glad you didn't die! Thanks for sharing this adventure. I didn't know you were afraid of heights! You've spent your entire life hiking and climbing on steep cliffs! You are one tough Grand Emperor!!!

Glad you lived to tell this tale!

it’s really cool to see someone who is willing to share their experience, even if it is a bit nerve racking and not their finest moment. not a lot of people do that anymore on social media, very admirable!

Amazing video, stunning scenery, so enjoyable to watch along sonme of your hike

Do you understand what is meant by leave no trace? SMH

Some of that scenery when you first started out looked like something out of LoTR. I hope to do this hike someday, but I would stay overnight at Phantom Ranch. I don't think I could do this in one day no matter if I trained for a thousand years. It's a bit like running a beagle on a treadmill, it isn't going to turn into a greyhound just because it runs a bunch! And I'm the beagle! 😅

This is one of the best videos on here for R2R. Seriously, beautiful scenery, nice music, and no whining even when the going obviously got tough. Thanks for sharing!

I watched all 3 segments, it was excellent, especially without music which in most cases is way too loud and the talking too soft, if you want music in my opinion play it soft under the speech volume. good job on the hike

Very cool hike. Well done. Great video.

Quite the adventure. Thank you for accepting the challenge -- so I don't have to.

Looks like you had correct seasonality working for you. Everyone was wearing a jacket at the TH.

Thank you for the great video! Enjoyed every step.

Nice production. Sweet trail; too many hikers on it.

Beautiful hike thank you!

Your video would be great without the background music... just leaving the natural sounds... just saying. Cheers!

Hi Matt, so you can hike to the river and camp overnight and then make the hike back out? My wife and I love the Grand Canyon, we floated down the Colorado for 5 days covered 188 miles. We have also helicoptered over the canyon, awesome. We want to hike rim to rim but can’t do it in one day.

I was "like" 666 for Part 3, and I watched (and liked) all three parts. I'll never be able to make this journey, but I enjoyed--through KZbin--living vicariously through your magic videos. Thank you!

This is so good for showing people the reality of hiking in the Canyon.

Did that trail but went out to the river overlook which made the whole trip worth the hike. Looks like you guys missed it. It is beautiful. We came across mountain goats as well. That was cool.

My friend and I did the same hike, north rim to south rim when he was 70 and I was 68 in 4 days. It was part of the longer hike of the Arizona Trail from Utah to Mexico border divided up into multiple 2 and 3 day weekend hikes.

GC is trully a extraordinary place...a real jewell in the ,necklace of the worldwide nature beauties...i cincerally enjoy watching this marblelous video and i can literally feel every breath you taking while climing up to the top of the clifs and walking on narrow lanes literally by he edge of the doom's...i can't even imagine the measure of enjoymant and exciment that you feel during this liftime adventure for which i am certain you will never forget..thank you one more time...many greatings from Croatia..P.S ...sorry for my eventually bad english..😒

Love From Bangladesh

No way I would do this..deathy afraid of heights!

This is a ultimate defination of nature's beauty... WOW,...JUST WOW...many greatings from Croatia..👋

In January 2014 we did SK down to Phantom Ranch (overnight) then to Ribbon Falls and back to Phantom Ranch (overnight) then out on the BA. It was fantastic. We needed crampons going down the SK until the 5000 ft level, but no snow the remainder of the trip. A great, uncrowded, time of the year to do it. Pretty easy until you are coming out and reach the 3 mile resthouse. We were all in our mid-60's at the time. For anyone wondering about Phantom Ranch, you need reservations. I could have done with much less volume on the music as I missed a lot of your comments.

The native people were living here befor the Europeans arrived so why aren’t these places named with Native American names ,not stupid religious names ,angle falls ect

Excellent video Matt! Thank you!

Nice just don't fall 😂

very good no Music !!!!

thanks for going there

Esse trajeto que passa pelo jardim indiano parece ser bem menos perigoso. Excelente imagens!

Coragem, tem que ter coragem. kkkkkkkkkk😅😅

Awesome video, very informative too. Did you film the entire time or just pick your spots? I am doing this route in Sept 2023 so trying to learn as much as I can.

magnifique randonnée
