Rim to Rim to Rim IN A DAY Grand Canyon Trail Guide – CLASSIC Trail Runs



Rim to Rim to Rim is a classic trail run that takes hikers/runners from the South Rim to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. For this variation, we started on South Kaibab, crossed the river to North Kaibab and finished on the Bright Angel Trail. This was filmed in early November and was about 45 miles with 11,100 ft of elevation gain.

    Hi Sherpa! What an excellent video you produced! I’ve watched many other R2R2R Grand Canyon videos; however, your video stands out for the raw emotion you display at missing Phantom Ranch. There is no need to apologize for your choice of words. I assure you, my vocabulary would have been far more vulgar had I missed a highly anticipated stop by just several minutes. I’m glad you decided not to edit out your anger — it made this video more real and authentic.

    Congratulations on accomplishing a goal that only true elite athletes achieve.

    Really great video…thanks for posting! I did Rim2Rim2Rim earlier this year but definitely not at your speed. I agree on the soul-suck of the hike through the box, particularly on the return trip. Congrats on a job well done!

    Did you say "we're going to gain about 4000 feet of hellevation"? That's what is sounded like to me! LOL! Epic journey. Thanks for posting.

    Have you had to do any knee re-hab while training to deal with knee pain while training for running?
