A trip to the Grand Canyon is an incredible experience and people come from around the nation and globe to get a glimpse, with annual visitors of around 6 million according to park statistics! Every so often we’ll speak with an Arizona native who hasn’t seen this majestic sight though and we highly encourage everyone to make the journey north of Flagstaff to visit. Experiencing the Canyon is even more complete when journeying below the rim. Permits are necessary for camping in the “backcountry” and less than 15,000 are issued annually, meaning a small fraction of visitors spend time overnight in the Canyon and estimates put the number hiking down any distance at around 10-15%. While it’s a fairly strenuous hike for most, it’s well worth the journey. This past week we took Chase down to the Colorado River via the South Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch and back up Bright Angel Trail for a truly memorable experience.
