Hiking the Hopi Salt Trail: An Ancient Adventure

[@AshtonAlyssa]

I m inspired to hike here :)

[@trailandtravel]

It was amazing, but really hot! Be ready for a big hike!

[@bemacbe]

Hiking through the canyons seems like such a great experience! My mom did the same thing two years ago. I’d love to as well, but I’ve been advised against it due to a disability from a bike accident. I can enjoy the sights vicariously through you. 😊 Stay safe!

[@trailandtravel]

It was amazing! I love the Grand Canyon. This trail is a tough one, it takes a lot of skill and attention. Thanks for watching!

[@neenee_marie77]

Beautiful! Why leave at 2:30 am to hike back?

[@trailandtravel]

So I didn’t have to hike in the heat. Hiking down in it was really tough and i knew that hiking out would be way more difficult! I was so glad that I hiked out this early. It was MUCH cooler!

[@neenee_marie77]

@@trailandtravel I wondered if it was the heat! Thank you so much for the hiking tips!!

[@trailandtravel]

@@neenee_marie77 yes of course! Thanks for watching!

[@marcocesaroni5932]

When did you go there? What's the best period of the year?

[@trailandtravel]

I went in July and it was so hot! I’d recommend spring or fall!

[@chaseschannel222]

INSPIRING!!! I have heard that trail is fucking hard

[@trailandtravel]

It’s a tough trail for sure, but it’s absolutely incredible!

[@chaseschannel222]

@@trailandtravel can I ask how long it took you to get down versus to get out?

[@trailandtravel]

yes, It was probably about 3-3.5 hours down and maybe 4-4.5 hours out.

[@RealdealSkip]

That’s badass!! I hope you have protection tho especially out there by yourself you never know what you will come across

[@trailandtravel]

Yes of course I did! Sun screen and sun shirt! I kept my eye out for creatures and honestly didn’t see too many of them out there.

[@G-man45444]

Was the water cold ?

[@trailandtravel]

The spring water was colder than the blue water! It was really nice and refreshing!

[@G-man45444]

@@trailandtravel , thank you for replying, up here in Canada the same coloured water in Jasper or Banff is freezing cold right off the glaciers

[@trailandtravel]

yes! the blue water from the glaciers is amazing, I'm goin to Glacier NP this month and I am so looking forward to the blue water there! This water is blue from the calcium carbonate in the water.

[@TheSuntan69]

Do you want to do some hiking together ? Because I feel like we're comparable for hiking

[@trailandtravel]

Im sure you are a wonderful person, I'm just always cautious about going on hike with people that I don't know. I hope you understand!

[@lechatleblanc]

this is extremely dangerous...no one should hike anything alone, CERTAINLY NOT THE GRAND CANYON... i hope u had a camera man or crew...but in that case its very bad to say u hiked alone cuz this is promoting ur viewers to hike the grand canyon alone...

[@trailandtravel]

I’m not promoting anyone to hike anything alone. I made this video to show how difficult this trail is but also how amazing it could be. I don’t have people in my life that enjoy hiking like I do, but I’m not going to let that stop me from these amazing experiences. I don’t think it’s “bad” to say I hiked alone, it’s honest. And there are many many people who hike alone. Thank you for your concern and thank you for watching!

[@AZBADBOYz]

I came in to say this as well. Nobody should be hiking this alone!! Even in pairs, you really, really need to have a Garmin inReach device or similar with you for satellite emergency communications.

[@TheSuntan69]

I hike alone! I started like 3 months ago when the weather changed and I could do that on my own. I will never forget my first solo hike when I ended up below Sopris Mountain in Carbondale Colorado, camping there in the tent. And the Thunder and the lightning was the most craziest experience I have ever had in my whole entire life...😊... it took me 5 hours to get there, and people suggested that I didn't do it on my own while I hiked up there and then I camped up there and Thunder and the lightning storm . And I'm so done with these people who don't investigate was there even f****** talking about

[@TheSuntan69]

I'm super proud of you!

[@trailandtravel]

I completely understand where you're coming from. I don't have someone close to me who is interested in doing these types of hikes. And I would feel like it's much more dangerous to do this with a stranger just for the sake of hiking in pairs. Also I am not going to rob myself of these experiences because no one will go with me. Yes I agree I have been wanting to get a Garmin for a while and most likely will soon. thank you for your concern, It truly shows that you care for my wellbeing and for that im grateful! Thank you.
