85km Rim to Rim to Rim bucket list hike in the Grand Canyon to commemorate 30 years... R2R2R / Rim2Rim2Rim / Ribbon Falls / Upper Ribbon Falls / Ancient Ruins / Colorado River
The Grand Canyon is one of the most beautiful places on this earth and one of the most challenging hikes around. Being one of the 7 natural wonders of the world it was high on my list of places to experience and exactly how I wanted to jump into my 30's.
Due to flight delays, we hiked well into the night on our first day in the canyon which yielded an amazing experience night hiking through the box with a clear view of the stars and the moon illuminating the way. This was great as on return from the North Rim it was a completely different experience.
This 85km R2R2R hike began on March 12th, 2022 and concluded on March 15th, 2022 Beginning at the South Kaibab Trailhead through North Kaibab Trail head and returning from North Kaibab Trailhead up to the Bright Angel Trailhead with detours to Ribbon Falls and Upper Ribbon Falls.

This hike will remain with me for the rest of my life. It provided some of the most unique environments that I have ever experienced, hiking from sunny and cool 15C temps on the South Rim to 30C at the Colorado River, dropping to freezing temps overnight and 2 feet of snow at the North Rim.
If you are thinking about hiking the Grand Canyon R2R, R2R2R or any of the other trails I highly recommend it and you certainly will not regret it.
