► ABOUT THIS HIKE
In November 2023 I set out with my friend / @sheety33 on a backpacking adventure down in the Grand Canyon of Grand Canyon National Park. We hiked the Escalante route from Lipan point via Cardenas, Seventy-Five Mile Canyon, the Papago Wall, Squeeze and Slide to Red Canyon. Scott Hiked out at Red Canyon while I continued solo on the East Tonto Trail to Phantom Ranch, where I spent my last night. I then hiked up via the South Kaibab Trail.

The guy does it like no other. Incredible work. I'm a super fan
Thanks (:
Real shit
listen @petergrant386.. THANK YOU for saying this.. it will greatly support what I have to say.. in my own comment.. :)
@@matthewhopf8027 your comment comments itself.. that's what YOU are.. trolling Harmen's work.. like a LOSER.. no.. actually AS a LOSER..
,,👍
The way you capture the beauty of nature nobody else does it better than you.❤
,,👍
When I watch him everything around me disapears. The peace I feel and my heart fills with so much love ❤
Thanks for sharing that!
,,👍
I remember when this channel had about 10K subscribers. Some of us put in comments saying that it was going to get much, much bigger. 217K now and growing. High quality work IS rewarded. Keep it up 😁
Thank you for your continued support! (:
,,👍
Harmen, you are a great inspiration for all of us to declare deep love and protection for nature. Congratulations on your work.
Greetings from Spain.
Thank you!
,,👍
Nature is magnificent, but watching it through Harmen's camera magnifies it even more. It's always a delight to watch his videos, and this one is no exception. Thank you Harmen.
So nice of you, thanks!
,,👍
Another absolute cinematic masterpiece, the camera angles, the composition of the shots, the music, the colour grading and everything in between is absolutely perfect, thank you for another incredible video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
,,👍
This is a beautiful example of the fact that you don't need words to tell a story. Well done, sir. Your style from the composition of your shots to your editing is superb. I'm excited to see what you create next.
,,👍
The magic of nature leaves you breathless and you never get bored of it. Very relaxing and of course with Nick Box with the legendary song Heavens.

Dear beloved brother Harmen!
This year mark my 21 year living in Arizona!🏜️
I’m a big fan of your and since your first hiking video, I did offer that if you are ever make it to Arizona please let me know because I have room for you to stay however long you like!
But I guess that you are a very busy person!
As always, you captured shots that no other can! You work really hard by waking up very early so that you can get the most out of the morning lights and to avoid crowds!
I appreciate how you included Cactuses 🌵 in this film and that is very special because they are a significant part of Arizona!🏜️🌵
I feel very honored watching your films Harmen!
Your works will bring Joy and Happiness to many people around the World 🌎 for generations!
I am deeply grateful for your loving kindness and compassion Harmen!🙏
,,👍
I love how much these videos focus on the landscapes and making you feel like you're there. The thing that irks me about most nature documentaries is that they'll say it's about the Grand canyon, and then show scenery for about 10 minutes (of an hour long episode), then pan to like a squirrel family or something for the rest of it. Not this guy. He really gets it!
Haha, love hearing that, thanks!
,,👍
Prachtig en indrukwekkend mooie ervaring, sceneries en film. Bedankt Harmen voor het delen van jouw bijzondere hike door de Grand Canyon ❤
,,👍
Very cool, thanks again! You conveyed a true sense of how small we are in comparison to the nature around us.
,,👍
Amazing!!! I see it is a challenging hike, so it was nice/surprising to see you with company. Thanks for the message at the end. Greetings from South America
,,👍
Anyone who has experienced trekking in the wild and has had the chance to contemplate intense pieces of landscapes knows how inspiring and soothing it is. it's a life changing experience. Those unique feelings are wonderfully conveyed in your videos. I just want to pack my back and go!
,,👍
I spent 5 days trekking the GC before I got ill. SO glad to see you doing part of this one with a friend - its such an unforgiving place at any time of year. Another jaw-droppingly excellent video. I am stunned at the quality of your work. THANK YOU!
Thank you! Glad you were able to do that, and hope you are doing ok now.
,,👍
I had the privilege of visiting in 2022, but only had time for a day hike. There is no other place like the Grand Canyon, absolutely stunning. Thank you for taking us on an adventure with you!
,,👍
My dear brother Harmen, as a strict follower of yours, I think you are a very, very good man, even though I never hear your voice. as nature lover and a walker, I watch all your videos with pleasure, I am grateful to you for these beautiful shares. You take me to the ends of the world while watching you. In my country, in the city of Rize in Turkey, there are countless routes in the Kaçkar Mountains that you should see. Since the Kaçkar Mountains are a remnant of the ice age, there are great routes without people at approximately 3000-4000 meters. I strongly recommend that you plan a very nice route of 100-150 miles in length where you will take quality shots. Even though I have never heard your voice, I wanted to do you a favor by recommending this route because I thought you were a very good man.
Thank you, man. Glad you like the silent aspect of these films. I hope to visit Turkey some day!
Yes, the Kaçkar Mountains are a beautiful area! I passed through the region many years ago on bicycle. The scenery is similar to Georgia except, like you said, there are very few people. It would be a wonderful place to trek!
,,👍
Astonishing places.. marvellously filmed!! Really well done Harmen!! 👏👏👏👏
What a treat! Thank you! The cinematography and the sound are just unparralleled for any hiking videos/films out there! I"m so glad I was among your first subscribers! I sometimes go back and rewatch your films, that's how good they are ❤
Awesome, thank you!
,,👍
Brilliant film! I loved the intro and also the end. Music was special in this video esp towards the end. It captures how majestic The Grand canyon is! Thank you again Harmen for this film. Enjoyed it! Looking forward to the next video already coz every film you make just gets better and better. 😍
Thank you, Justine! Glad you liked this one as well. All the best to you!
@@HarmenHoek Thank you Harmen! Likewise! 🙂
,,👍
Love the duo theme, friendship in wilderness. 😂
Glad to hear that! Trying out new things. I love hiking solo, but once in a while some company is nice. Still try to keep it silent though!
,,👍
I have no words adequate enough. Thank you for sharing this with us.👍🏼
the Only person's video I wish never ever should end that is HARMEN HOEK... Thank you sir ... For another journey added into our lives...
The footage, the music, no words needed....I really enjoy your stunning video's!
A Visual Gratitude Prayer!! Your films open my heart SO wide, every single time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Really good as always Harmen, thank you! A great depiction of the GC and the U.S. desert southwest in general😊😊
So glad you brought people through the Escalante! You made that landslide look casual. Thanks for this footage.
I can't imagine the process of shooting every your videos mr Hoek. But it's always stunning.
WOW, Harmen. Have never seen the Grand Canyon presented in such a magical otherworldly context. The gorgeous lighting & colors were really enhanced. Loved the moon shots & your parting shot. You definitely have the special gift. GREAT JOB ❤🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸👍🏻
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this one too, it sure was one of my favorite treks from last year. I love the desert, the colors and the lighting. It's such a unique place.
,,👍
Fond memories of my visit to the Grand Canyon last October, but just to the South Rim. This amazing video shows that there's so much more to this incredible landscape.
I love it too! There's something special about that desert
,,👍,
Simply everything you do is wonderful - for this one it is the light, the rocks, the river, the trees for my favorite canyon
Harmen, your channel is church to me, and the Grand Canyon is the cathedral. The ever changing light on the panoramas, the close ups of flora and fauna (even the little beetle!), the music you choose, the comforting simplicity of your daily practices on the trail, it’s all like a sacrament for the beauty of our natural world. Thank you! It’s not enough to cover how this makes me feel, but Thank you!
(I clapped like a school girl when you mailed post cards delivered by mule…last place in the US that does that. I have postcards from 45 years ago from Phantom Ranch!)
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed it, and I love those cards too. I have 2 'Mailed by Mule' stamps in my passport from 2017 and now from 2023. (;
This is exactly how I feel!
,,👍
Another stunner! I felt immersed in the beautiful landscape! Thank you and God bless you ✝️
You are so welcome
This one brought back some great memories for me as I did a 5 day hike starting a the S. Kaibab trail to the Phantom Ranch and them up Bright Angle to the Tonto Plateau trail over to Monument Canyon which is absolutely beautiful and then over to Hermit Canyon and then back to the top. I wish I had the abilities you have with your equipment and film expertise but at least I can live vicariously through your presentation and absorb myself in your incredible adventure. I did not even know there was a trail weaving through the bottom of the canyon as where you were traveling for the first half of the film. That would be wonderful to stay low in the canyon for that length of the trip. Thanks much for the adventure Harmen!
Thank you for taking us on your magical journeys again and again! You films are inspiring and motivating, it shows how beautiful nature can be without having to describe it with words, the pictures speak for themselves. Keep up the good work.
I absolutely loved this one. No one compares with your work.
Another adventure in the book of life my friend 🤜🏻One of the most adventurous treks through the wildest and remote places on earth. I need to go back and complete the section I missed now! Fantastic film my friend - until the next adventure 🤙🏻
It was fun hanging out with you on trail, to more of these adventures 🍻
Stunning film as always.👏👏👏
Wow! From someone who has hiked it 5 times. Thank you So much! Hiking the Tonto Plateau has always been my favorite! Your video is amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it! I love the desert
Thank you Harmen.
I appreciated both you and your protege doing part of this hike together. Thank you both🙂
I wish I was there! Beautifully shot
Wonderful Video, really enjoyed watching this brought back memories from our honeymoon trip this year 🌎💕
So glad!
You’ve inspired me to get out there, I’m grateful Harmen 🙏🏼
Glad to hear that!
Everytime I watch your video’s I feel that I am there with you. What a great experience..!
I watched this film 5 times. It is just excellent! One of the best Outros of all time!

Glad you enjoyed it!
An other masterpiece , thanks from France.
Thank you too!
Your work literally forces me to watch with my heart ✨❤️
Looking forward to this as well. I would love to watch a hiking video of Sedona, AZ. You may have already thought of it, but it’s also another gorgeous, scenic, spiritual place. Just a thought! Happy travels!
Hope you enjoyed this one! Thanks for the tip, love that area!
Another masterpiece! Thank you so much!
Really love this concept! Silence and self-concentration is what I am looking for in mountains. And that is also the biggest benefit of your videos. Less is more and still so beautiful!
Another master piece! So much work on it! Beautiful.
Hermano Harmen gracias tus videos he imágenes me traen la Paz que necesito. Abrazo fuerte amigos desde argentina 🇦🇷
Muchas gracias por tus palabras agradables!

Thank you very much!
@@HarmenHoek no, you, thank you so much for helping us dream😊👍
Wow.....breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.
Appreciate it!
I already watched many videos about hiking the Grand Canyon but this one is King. You really know how to present nature uniquely. Outstanding work! I will watch the first half on Scott's channel now. Great work guys
So nice of you, Mario, thanks!
Thank you Harmen.. thank you ❤
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Beautiful movie Harmen, we really like your cinematic way of documenting your hikes and we fill many Friday evenings with it. Your reference to Job 38 was spot on! Keep on shooting.
Simply stunning, your videos bring me peace.
Thanks! Glad to hear so
i love these films! in this one, i found his hiking with another person to be a distraction. so i was very happy that halfway through it he went his separate way. of course its nice to hike with someone sometimes. but the impact the of the film is way more profound when he is alone.
Beautiful simply beautiful, your amazing films reminds me how lucky we are to live on this planet and how spectacularly breathtaking it's beauty is. Thank you 🙏🏼❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Just amazing, Carmen, thank you thank you thank you for sharing your incredible travels !
My pleasure!
Stunning video
Studying the Grand Canyon in geology courses, doesn't reveal the true beauty of the place like this video does. Thank you!
It's a one of kind place for sure!
Amazing video Sir, Thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos, they are the best
In awe! Stunning scenery. Great video, great hiking. Harmen, you are out of this world!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So so beautiful! God bless you!
Amazing memories of hiking the Grand Canyon. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing this great video with us
So stunning down to earth, such a sense of place and perspective intimate and grand.
Incredible. The most beautiful images of the Grand Canyon I've ever seen. Last thought, though, was a worry about your second hiking pole having rolled off into the canyon in that last shot 😆. Thank you for sharing, as always.
Haha, very well spotted! It did bounce off, but got caught in a tree, so was able to recover it afterwards. (; Thanks!
Kudos for doing this, and for sharing the amazing experience! I love what you do so much and will always support you. The first video of yours that I watched was the Summer Peaks of Balkans and now it has been 2 years and as I follow you I feel that we're growing and developing together regardless of where we are in the world.
Thank you so much!!
Amzing, Breathtaking. Great video. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow - Thanks. Greetings from Germany, Chris

Fantastic video !!! Loved it
Thank you Harmen for this splendid video! Amazing landscapes 😍
Glad you like them!
My pleasure!
Another beautiful movie of trails less traveled! Thank you for always finding these peaceful and untouched lands to broaden my vision. It’s visual feasts in watching them. The mule troop passing was cute! You may want to wear trail gaiters to avoid sands getting into your socks and shoes. Congratulations! job well done again!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the tip on the gaiters!
WOW… another beautiful video Harmen, well done 👏 you really know how to capture the essence of a place. There are some stunning visuals in here to enjoy as with all your videos. It’s a treat to follow your adventures. Keep it up! Thank you

Amazingly beautiful! Thanks!

Simply stunning!
Thank you so much!
I’ve never been to the other places of your films except for GC so I really enjoyed this one because I recognize the places I’ve been. Beautifully done! I especially like your brief slow pans. I don’t know how you do it but it is a nice touch.
It's an amazing place! Thanks for the compliments. The panning shots are done with a small motorized slider
Another one incredible , amazing , epic video🙂Τhanks for sharing

We:"Those long distance footages are EPIC!"

Glad you liked it, and thanks for the compliment!
