Thank you to the rafting parties! The raft magic and the ride across was really special. We would all very much like to grow up and become rafters ourselves now

The emerald mile is a fantastic read and anyone whose interested in the Grand Canyon should absolutely read this book.

Rafting parties ... the ultimate trail angels on the Hayduke. So *thank you* to Ken, Bill, Buddy and the other rafters that supported the gang!

What a remarkable feat to get into the canyon. It's awesome you were able to yogi some pancakes and the ride from the rafters. I love the rafting community and have taken many trips on other rivers. The Grand Canyon is definitely a bucket list rafting trip for me.

It was fun to see you out there on the Tonto trail. The high school students we were leading were impressed with how far and how light you were going.

It was great to see you when my wife and I finished the AZT. You also met you the year before near picket post. So happy to see you finished the hayduke. You have inspired my wife and I. We are planning doing the AT next year.

The AT is a really fun!! It can get a bad rep in the hiking world from west coasters, but it's more unique than anything else out there. The community is incredible, and the hiking itself is always interesting! Hope you enjoy and nice to meet you!

My great grandmother would go down the Colorado with Georgie White when she was in her 80s. I've never river rafted on the Colorado, but my wife and I did a rim to rim a few years ago. It's pretty brutal there! I can't imagine being down in there for 200 miles.

Love your vlog. I eagerly wait for a new drop every week. I did the Nankoweep trail years ago as part of a Sierra Club hike. While it was tough going down, it was even tougher going back up. Much of the trail is loose sand on steep slopes. One minor correction. You said that the canyon is 277 miles long. Actually, from Lee's Ferry to the Grand Wash cliffs, it's 217 miles. I also did a river trip back in the 1984. The trip leader was a fellow named Rudi Petschek. He happens to be one of the three boatmen in the Emerald Mile who set that record for rowing the whole canyon in 34 hours earlier in the spring of that year. He had some great stories about it.

I hiked part of the AZT, then switched to the Nankoweap trail and descended part way. I didn’t have permits for for GCNP so turned around and camped back on top. It was a great hike, wish i could have continued. A friend doing the Hayduke got a ride from the rafting guides, great people.

I was ultra lucky and ran into a private group at Nanko who took me along for 3 nights and 2 days! Absolute experience of a lifetime!

Don't come strolling in with expectations !! Be thankful gracious and humble. My sister used to run some of those boats and work for a company who had several. The attitude some people have I found to be astonishing when she told me some of those stories about backpackers 😮😡. Start early & end early that's my motto down there. Makes for happier trip. Liquor ranger media area and even have time to hang out with someone if you got one.

Which tributary to the Colorado did you all have to wade shortly after being let off on the opposite shore by the rafters? The color of the water was very different from the Colorado.

@LeahJones-m9f 2 ай бұрын

It’s the little Colorado River, super pretty and really cool to see the confluence.

@larryk5541 2 ай бұрын

The color comes from minerals the Little Colorado flows over up stream. Also long as there haven't been rainstorms recently, it is a beautiful turquoise blue. After a rain, it turns muddy brown for several days. I think the video shows it but the two rivers don't mix together right at the confluence. They actually flow side by side for quite a distance before mixing.

Your thoughts on the Missing411? Any stories to share?

@JupiterHikes 2 ай бұрын

I am not sure I am familiar with what you're talking about, but if it is what I think then I would have to say that people should go out more prepared. Especially in the national parks I see literally hundreds of people that have no idea what they are getting themselves into. To a lesser degree you'll see that everywhere.

Humphrys Peak is what it’s called…Not Mt Humphrys 😊. Arizonians get offended for some reason when people call it Mt Humphrys. And I can vouch for how surprisingly cold the river is. Take your breath away uncomfortable. Like doing a cold plunge. Glad you got a ferry across first day.

Would it be too dangerous/hazardous to hike late/afternoon night? Just to get some relief from the heat/sun.

@LeahJones-m9f 2 ай бұрын

Depends on the section. Some of the route through the canyon is on established trails (Nankoweap, Beamer, Tonto, Kaibab etc) but a chunk is off trail on terrain that’s either unsafe or difficult to traverse in the dark. Either you’re in brushy, loose areas or navigating the ledges river-side and need to see a ways ahead to pick your route and not get cliffed out. I came down Nankoweap mostly in the dark by moonlight / headlamp and it was fine, but would be very sketchy to do the river-side hike from Nankoweap to the LCR at night.

@heartattackhiker3527 2 ай бұрын

I'm wondering if you could cross on your air mattress? I know wouldn't feel comfortable doing it myself, however I have floated across a small river before.

@LeahJones-m9f 2 ай бұрын

It would be very hazardous. The Colorado’s a big river and even if you pick a slower section with a long run out above rapids it’s very cold, moves fast and has a pretty strong current. I’ve rafted / kayaked it and swum some of the big rapids and would never risk going in with just an air mattress.

@larryk5541 2 ай бұрын

It has been done. Colin Fletcher writes about his experience in his book, The Man Who Walked Through Time. Also, the dean of GCNP hikers, Harvey Butchart, used to do it so he could hike the north and west side of the canyon without having to make the long drive to the north rim from his home in Flagstaff and southern AZ.

@architennis 2 ай бұрын

@@larryk5541 Yeah, I read Colin Fletcher's book years ago and remembered that he went across with an air mattress. I wonder how cold the water was when he did that. It sounds too cold to risk it.
