Just did this based on your strava routing! I’m very glad to say we started at 5 am instead of 7. Saved us a bit of sun exposure on Tonto.
Thanks for the recommendation, I did the exact routes two weeks ago!
Jeff loved this video, but definitely this screams for a long form documentary format. This like getting just a taste of something ultra delicious.
nice and enjoy
That Phantom Ranch lemonade is the BEST on a hot day!
The Canyon delivers! Down is optional up is mandatory! Great run and vid as always, Jeff!
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. I can’t express with words how much I love this channel. You are the best Jeff
🙏
Looks like excellent training for the Moab! What a great trip. Really digging these more spaced out training diaries and really fills the spot for me compared with the diaries of last year.
Glad to hear it! This is a much more sustainable pace for me too, in terms of a publication schedule.
@@JeffPelletier that’s great to hear! I recall these more spaced out updates being in my comment wishlist when you asked what our thoughts were at the end of last years for that exact reason. Much more realistic/sustainable.
Yay, Frooze Balls from NZ. 🙂
Your videos makes us long for running in those beautiful places as well. Hope one day I can run in Arizona trails.😊
Fantastic video as usual, breathtaking views, GC is on my list...WOW Moab 250 can't wait for those upcoming preparation episodes,
That first section looked so fun, you guys lucked out, plus you still got lemonade & the Bright Angel climb 😊
Awesome! Looking forward for the next episode of the training diaries! How about a video about running poles?
I agree! Think a lot of us have no clue how to use them right :D
Great views and shots! Thanx man. Good memories.
taking me back, i used to live, train in Flag for 11yrs. great video
Very pleased to know your preference for Trader Joe’s - it is our primary grocery store 😄
The scenes after the lemonade, catching the afternoon light on your run, with your friends 💚💚
Dreamy landscapes, thanks Jeff!
Great to learn about and see that route in the GC, as well as some of Flagstaff. As for 16:47, I haven't forgotten about the promised full Grand Teton video :)
Wow great adventure. Striking resemblance of scenery to Al Hajar Mountains in Oman 7:00
What amazing scenery! Looks like a great trip
Brilliant look around Flagstaff and Sedona Jeff. Would love to see more at some point if you ever get back. Have been through twice while enroute to other places and definitely had a sense of the possibility. Great vid.
As always Jeff, you make the best videos. This was great, can’t wait for the next one….
My husband and I did the Rim to River to Rim (South Kaibab to Bright Angel) only about a week and a half before you were there. But our weather was completely different. Started the day at -9 with ice and snow, and only got up to 17 at the bottom of the canyon. At least the cold kept it from being too busy except for at the top of Bright Angel; we were on our own most of the hike.
We expected to see snow on the rim, but it must have all melted in the final few days before we got there!
Hey Jeff see you tomorrow at Wild horse traverse.
Terrific video! Such a beautiful area of the world. And thanks for the information on the Grand Canykn. A group of us are planning R2R2R in October. We will keep an eye on the trail situation and look at your alternative if there are closures.
Looking forward to the full movie
Absolutely brilliant 👍🏃🏻♂️
Great film Jeff! Another destination and run I just added to my bucket list!
Hi Jeff. Great video. Awesome! Thaks for sharing. Fantastic landscape. Keep on running.
Wow beautiful....very inspired to do this trail 1 day!
This is awesome! I was there a week before you, hiking the same areas. Would have been cool if our time over lapped and I got to bump into ya!
Awesome
Another excellent video from you in my home state. Nice to see another GC trail. Hubby & I did Rim to Rim in June one year…an excellent adventure.
Amazing !
Your buddy is off by quite a bit! Humphreys peak is 12,633ft. Cool to see you in my home state! I live in Phoenix, grew up and went to school in flagstaff. Hike the canyon all the time. Hope you had a great time!
Thanks, even better!
Awesome as always!! Can't wait to hear (and watch on Strava) how you train for the MOAB 240. I can't even wrap my head around how a person trains for that LOL.
Another one great experience !😇
TY for the journey Jeff 🤙🏽✊🏽
This makes me want to go to Arizona so bad! Awesome video
Glad to hear it!
Awesome run!!
Dude! Any chance of getting more longer lengthen training or racing videos around north Vancouver/north coast mountains? Like fun little side trails and obscure destinations?
One of these days I plan on documenting the entire Bagger’s Challenge which is a collection of some 80+ local peaks, many very obscure!
Go NZ and Foosballs, they are delish ❤
Hi Jeff found your channel about six months ago and really enjoy your films, as someone who is very environmentally conscious I have to ask, do you consider the impact of all flights you take? If you do, what do you do to mitigate it? I haven’t flown since 2019, partly pandemic but now it’s very conscious, not saying I won’t again, I am next year to go to New Zealand.
Was surprised with part about how some creek are radiated. Something to think about when refilling the filtered bottle. Makes me wonder about other creeks too. Is there a place to find out which creeks are ok?
www.grandcanyontrust.org/sites/default/files/gc_uranium_USGSsummaryContamination.pdf
basically a bunch of uranium mining around the rim done very poorly
@@steve_bailey but how do you know which ones are safe?
I have the same question!
I don’t think you know. But some have signage around them.
Does the Cocodona 250 interest you? Would be interesting to compare to Moab, and a beautiful film!
One day! I’m loving this years live coverage, as usual.
Sweet trails! We've had spring in Nova Scotia since October, wanna trade? 😅
I'll watch this tonight
Great video! Would love it if you could join our race in November in Oman > Himam Trail Run Race
Jeff at what point will you be running the bob graham round ? Might see you there😮
Planning for the July 1st weekend!
@@JeffPelletier looking forward for some 🇬🇧 content 🥳
How do you know the water is radioactive? My husband and I are doing R2R2R October 17 want to make sure our water sources are safe, we are using bright angel Creek as our water source since the a lot of the pipped in water is shut off from a break in the line.
You should be okay on the R2R2R route. It’s just along Tonto Trail that you need to be careful.
@@JeffPelletier thank u Jeff
😊😊😊
What’s your suggestion on gaiters that fit on pretty much any shoes?
I don’t often wear gaiters, but I do like the ankle high ones that Salomon make. They should fit over pretty much any shoe.
Hang on, did he just say 'radioactive'?! 😮
From the mining activity 😬
Why is Colorado river have so dark and brown water?
My understanding is that it’s because of the type of sediment in the canyons.
I suspect we may have been in the Canyon the same weekend. Here is the Sunrise you missed a few Ks from the rim heading down the South Kaibib Trail th-cam.com/video/8HWFoaoq59M/w-d-xo.html
What poles are you using ?
I recently started using the Leki FX One Superlights.
Better to rent a car, stay in Tusayan the night before..
How is this trail expensive?
There are no permits or usage fees for the trail itself, but you do have to pay $35 USD per vehicle to enter the park.
