I bought a bunch of new things for my hike across the Grand Canyon. We planned to hike across in one day (rim to rim) and I had lots of worries. I bought a few things to make it easier but I wasn't sure if it was worth it. Here are 4 pieces of outdoor equipment and clothing I bought just for the hike and whether I needed them. PS - I have an 8 minute video of the hike with lots of "live" updates recorded along the way, and I'm making a video now with my COMPLETE packing list.
In May I'll be joining a small group to walk 24 miles across the Grand Canyon (Grand Canyon Rim to Rim) in one day. In addition to the 24 miles, the crossing starts with about 6,000 feet of descent and ends with about 5,000 feet or ascent. I recorded this video in what I thought was winter's last gasp; as it turned out, we had an amazing "bonus" late March snowstorm, and I got some great ski days in after all!! I'll be crossing the Grands Canyon in one day in May. I hope so. "Training" feels like a pretentious word - I prefer to call it "getting ready." But here's how I'm training... |
