Returning to the Best Long Trail in the US - Hayduke Trail Thru Hike 12

[@JupiterHikes]

About 250 miles in the depths of the Grand Canyon up next 🙂

[@Rydoge7]

What was just a Monday is once again hayduke day. Love this series.

[@jasminedefoore9317]

Mondays are going to be so blah once the last video in the series has been uploaded!

[@JupiterHikes]

But then a new video series will begin :)

[@skipandcherieadventures116]

Enjoyed this section of your hike…..love the beauty of Buckskin Gulch -it is so unique and beautiful! Brought back good memories for us…nice photography and happy music! Grand Canyon is indeed special especially views and the river…

[@iwazzabadboy1982]

Wire Pass/ Buckskin Gulch is GREAT….Did it in June…

[@woodchip2782]

Yay! Another hike!😊 That sundown was extraordinary, I’ve never seen one so intense in my life!

[@kmonnier]

Grand Canyon is so terrifyingly imposing and glorious.

[@anthonymejia2670]

Appreciate the love you give the AZT. It makes me really proud to be from a state that well traveled thru hikers like yourself hold in such high regard despite seeing thousands of miles of beauty in more “stereotypical” beautiful places like Colorado or the PNW.

[@JupiterHikes]

The AZT really is incredible, gold standard of a trail and frequently what I will recommend over just about anything else! So long as someone even sort of has an interest in the desert at least

[@mattkolberg2409]

This is such a great looking hike, but I don't think I would do it. So many logistical issues. Kudos to you and Sprocket. Maybe I'd do a couple sections where there's reasonable access to water and the trailheads.

loving this series.

[@ervinslens]

Such a great place to explore. Enjoyed watching your awesome video guys! Fantastic cinematography!

[@iwazzabadboy1982]

We did a R2R 2 years ago..At Phantom Ranch it was 108..Rested in the shade for a hour and booked it up the South Rim getting done right at nightfall …The amazing thing was how many hikers who were unprepared that we seen and were struggling…

[@JupiterHikes]

So many! It's amazing how people underestimate a Rim to Rim, or even go for a R2R2R very unprepared !

[@iwazzabadboy1982]

Yeah, no hat,no poles,walmart bag with a couple water bottles…It was crazy… Cant wait for next video

[@KimberlyGreen]

That lizard at 4:20 (heh) was funny, with the bobbing head. Maybe he had his teeny tiny Airpods in and jammin to some tunes.

[@johnganshow5536]

He was chasing a female, that was his mating dance...

[@stpetie7686]

Thanks for the upload. They bring back some good memories. I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@andyveres3982]

Yeah boyyyyyyy

[@heartattackhiker3527]

Hope you and Sprocket bought some cookies at Jacob lake? I lived on them my last day on the AZT, happy trails Jupiter.

[@JupiterHikes]

The cookies were great! I think a lot of their baked goods were awesome, maybe it was a turnover that was my true favorite but don't remember exactly

[@PlantPapaJohn]

Looks amazing!

[@celiareed1402]

Love this series! How do you like the Merrells?

[@JupiterHikes]

I really enjoyed the Trail Glove 6, but the new pair doesn't have very durable tread and it pretty much starts wearing away immediately!! So I will be waiting for the version 8... until I try them again in a long distance setting.

[@WickedGravityVideo]

Hayduk lives

[@marcusloffler8232]

what app are you using for bird/animal id? Thanks!

[@JupiterHikes]

Merlin! It's great, it can lead you through identification via what a bird looks like, or you can use sound and their calls. Very fun thing while out hiking

[@treehugger3181]

👊🤠👊

[@martinforrester8249]

Who is sprocket ? Very little mention of her, she seems on the periphery of this journey.

[@JupiterHikes]

Sprocket is my girlfriend and she would mostly prefer not to be on camera so I try to honor that by not shoving it in her face or making her do interviews or something.

[@miscbs]

Heh - I have those shoes. I like my Merrell Trail Glovae 7s, but I don't think you're gonna get 400 miiles out of them. Too minimalistic.

[@JupiterHikes]

I really loved the Trail glove 6, and got about 500-600 miles out of each pair I wore on the PCT but the new 7s has a different tread that isn't as good :( It looks fun and fancy, and the shoe otherwise holds up great, it's just the tread that's now a problem unfortunately

[@miscbs]

@@JupiterHikes The 6s are what I currently hiking in. The 7's will be replacing when they are they are dead - which looks to be soon. They only have about 250 on them.The soles are fine, but the uppers are getting thin.
