We did it! RIM 2 RIM 2 RIM.

Across the Grand Canyon and back. 44 miles with 24,000 feet of ascent/descent. 80 degrees in the valley and 30 with snow at the peak (8300 feet). 20 hours.

The journey was 100% self supported. Carry your own food (20 hours worth), filter water from the rivers, and don’t stop moving. I loved learning about how much water to carry, how much to eat, the supplies needed, etc.

It was my first trip to the Grand Canyon. This country offers so many amazing national treasures. Highly encourage everyone to get out and see as much of our country as you can. The lakes, oceans, mountains, trials, cities...all of it.
