Training & preparing for a rim to rim to rim hike at Grand Canyon.

[@OtisSmith-d8x]

A hiker in a sports coat? That's okay, you know what you're talking about. Thank you for the useful tips and advice.

[@GC-Hiker]

LOL. It was cool and I was trying to look respectable. I am most comfortable in a t-shirt, but anything for KZbin!

This is the best training video for hiking at Grand Canyon R3 that I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your experiences and great tips as well. GC hiker, you have done a wonderful job. I am impressed and good work.

[@GC-Hiker]

Aw, you are much too kind. Thanks for watching and thanks for your kind comment.

[@AbbNewton]

A masterclass on preparation for the hike, by an obviously experienced hiker. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@GC-Hiker]

Thank you. You are too kind. I like to share what I have learned.

[@vedrana0127]

I would recommend anyone planning this tour to watch your video. As an experienced hiker, you provided useful information and tips for such a demanding hike.

[@GC-Hiker]

Thank you for your kind comment.

[@OtisSmith-d8x]

Read last watched, and missed the part in the end where you're standing in front of the kaibab trail. That's pretty clever.

[@GC-Hiker]

Thanks for noticing and staying until the end!

This is a really nice video. I never thought about 2 lamps - great idea. I am taking new people with me next year and will have them watch this video. Great point about how much of the canyon is psychological!

[@GC-Hiker]

Thanks so much! The two lamps have really worked out well for me. Plus, I run the lower lamp on low, so I get better run time in case the headlamp runs out. The mental preparation is an important part of the hike for me. I appreciate your comment.

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

As always, great advice! It's always good to hear how one is prepared for this hike! Thanks for sharing GC 😊

I think I'll only go once in a lifetime, so I'll probably prioritize the view over the price. I would love to experience the Grand Canyon😊👍

[@GC-Hiker]

I hope you can make the visit!

[@TommieBrown-h5r]

That is a goal for me!

[@GC-Hiker]

It is great to set and accomplish goals!

[@immnotaboutthatlife2086]

Thank you for this super informative video! I like the way you do it! A shower and soft bed sounds great! ❤

[@GC-Hiker]

Thanks so much for watching. Even though the time in the room is short, it is really refreshing to get off the trail, get cleaned up and fed, and get a short rest.

[@immnotaboutthatlife2086]

I completely agree! How do you feel about hiking in the dark? 1 am start sounds hard!

[@GC-Hiker]

@@immnotaboutthatlife2086 It is a compromise I am willing to make to get done with the hike in the daylight. And, actually I must admit I enjoy the solitude on the trail at night, and the view of the stars and the sunrise. I don't sleep that well before a hike, so I am often up anyway.
