WAY to GO Gracie and family! ❤❤❤
WOW! I am shocked at the negative remarks and all the doomed forewarning and what not…did ya’ll not see all the other folks out there hiking??? AND…Dad did NOTHING wrong! His son had already been out there and was doing this anyways….I think it’s cool Dad went along with his kids! They had water, food and plenty of others out on the trail. Way to live it up and make a memory…So many wimps out there these days…. Way to enjoy this beautiful life as a family!
cheering stupidity
GPS watches don't read accurately there. Your son's mileage was 46. Your wife's was 22. You and your daughter did 24.
The way you guys did this was incredibly dangerous: Time of year. Time of day. Lack of proper training. Not knowing where you were, or the mileages to all of the significant locations (rest stops) and how far between each. No full brim shade hats, and your daughter in no hat with her entire neck, head, face, and shoulders frying in the high altitude sun. Tank top on your daughter, exposing so much of her to the sun. Not getting hair and shirts wet at every single water location, and in the all the creek crossings, as well as along Bright Angel Creek from Wall Creek, all the way to Phantom. Separating from mom and leaving her to fend for herself for over an hour on the climb, and who knows how long she was actually walking solo, and again, lack of training, lack of sun protection, not getting hair and clothing wet. 2 people have already been found dead on the River Trail (the section in the Gorge, from Black Bridge to the River Delta Rest Stop) this season, (in the last month), and it's "this" kind of hiking in the Canyon that leads to either needing to be rescued, or worse. With so much information available on TH-cam alone, plus the video that Park Service released in April (posted on the NPS website, as well as here in YT), it's hard to understand the 4 of you going into the Canyon for more than a couple miles.
I started backpacking there with wife in 2007, and we returned in 2008 with our 8yr old daughter, and came back year, after year. In 2015, My daughter and I started running R2R's, mid-Aug, on our birthdays, when she turned 16. We did that together 5yrs in a row, and then I started doing 2 a year, solo. Was just there at the end of May to run another Rim2River, as a speed run. I'll be there mid-Aug, to celebrate my 61st with another R2R run (we run them we don't walk or use poles). We/I rescue people like yourselves almost every trip in the Canyon, and we carry extra electrolyte and GU Roctane for such efforts, and it's a real disappointment to turn our vacation experience and training, into a rescue operation.
They knew the GPS was inaccurate, they said so in the video. They dunked their stuff in water repeatedly throughout, including the son getting completely in the river. The only valid part of your criticism is they didn't have sun protection clothing, but this is common, even for serious thru-hikers, some folks do it that way. Ultra runners don't have tons of sun gear on either.
It's definitely a dangerous hike, but I think they did a lot more research than you're suggesting. I also think they are far more trained than you realize. An untrained person can barely walk 12 miles with elevation much less what they did. They have obviously developed a strong base over many years.
Although I don’t think the tone of some of the earlier comments was necessary, it is true that lack of judgement was repeatedly shown; and the points made in those earlier comments were valid. When hiking do thorough research on what to wear, dangers unique to the area, etc. National Parks always have plenty of resources on their website (as does the GC). The father is most accountable for the mistakes made. His son could have died, and the father was pushing him on. I’m glad everyone made it out ok. Please, do your homework in the future, and take the advice and warnings from the park/rangers seriously.
How not to hike the GC.
Could you please elaborate on that?
@@thegleamteamcleaningcompanyNCthese people have no idea what they are doing and clearly aren’t in proper shape.
I played college soccer with your dad and by watching this video, it doesn’t look like he’s lost a step! Great video and glad you guys crushed it
That’s awesome!! My dad has talked about you! I loved doing the hike with him!
Outstanding! I recently did a Grand Canyon 50 mile all along the north rim - tough experience! Can’t imagine dropping down into that heat as well!
Inexperience. Gotta love it. Glad we did not end up reading of your demise in the newspaper.
Shut up
You didn't almost die. Don't put that on your title screen. Tired sure. So sick of all the people posting RTRTR saying they almost died, Getting Rhabdo etc. Show some responsibility in your video and be honest. People will do anything for a click I swear. Its what I hate about YT.
I just left there. So beautiful. I said the same thing, the creation of God.
I mean I have a Master's in Geological Engineering. Your dad seems to not know how the Grand Canyon was formed, because he keeps referencing some deity. I can definitely give him a class.
You shouldn’t be hiking in the Grand Canyon in these temperatures at all, let alone rim to rim. 🤦♀️
Did you not see all the people out there and all the amazing water around them? sheesh…..
Find ten things wrong with this video. Should be pretty easy because there’s so much to choose from.
How about ten things right
Amazing hike gang. What a great experience. The son might get a few demerits in the will for leaving mom like that. Surprised the son went for the return trip as he looked done as well. But yall did it! Looks like I'll have to try this hike some day as well.
I just came across your channel and wow…That was impressive! Also you go to school with one of my favorite TH-camrs son. Caleb Leach (Keep your daydream) So cool.
Great job everyone! Don't let the internet experts who have commented on here get you down. It might have not been the cleanest hike, but you guys did it. I accomplished a rim-to-rim-to-rim hike of the Grand Canyon in mid October of 2016. I was 51 years old then. I hiked from the South Rim to the North Rim, stayed over night. I maybe got two hours of sleep. Then I hiked back to the South Rim the next day. It was brutal, especially climbing up to the North Rim. It was so windy and cold. I thought I was going to die, but I made it. In the end, making it is all that matters.
Yeah, it’s all fun and games until people die which they do all the time in the Grand Canyon. I think two hikers have died in the last month. Don’t encourage this nonsense.
Thank you for watching my video and leaving this encouraging comment! It means a lot. Thats so cool to hear about your adventure and experience!
Absolutely reckless!
You seem very tired. Not close to death.
I can just imagine. I was with 2 others and did 31 miles at the GC and I almost threw up at the end.
Almost died? Glad you made it. Too hot for most hikers.
Goodness, all the negativity experts. 🤪 You guys pushed through and made it. 💪🏼 I have done Havasupai twice and it was amazing. Happy trails fam!
Congratulations. I did rim-to-rim back in the '70s. I blew out my right knee on the way up. It still reminds me when I hike. By God's grace, I still enjoy the journey, up and down, good or bad; it is part of my life story. Praise the Lord.
I’m not going to watch this . Every year people die hiking in my state . A ten year old boy just died because his family took him hiking!! Rescue teams get called and have to risk their lives for people doing stupid stuff like this. For likes ? And if you needed help ??? Let’s risk others in the heat ?? Selfish
If you watch there was no help needed.
What ever dude. Mind your own business not everyone is doing it for likes. They are enjoying life and completeting adventutes.
Like Everest, its not for everyone.
I’ve done this in my 20s, 30s and 40s. At 60 I’m content just walking along the rim. Well, sort of content, we still backpack just nothing this extreme.
Is that all the water you guys had? Two backpacks worth?
Thanks for watching my video! We actually each had our own water bag which were 2L each. We also filled them up at each stop which amounted to around 2 gallons total that we each drank while adding electrolytes. We also ate a variety of different foods which included salty snacks.
@@Gracieraelarson Oh good, gave me anxiety just thinking about that! Lol
Congrats on your great accomplishment. Great video.
Thank you! It was so amazing!!! Let’s do it again!
Great video! I'd love to do something like that. A friend of mine did R2R2R in one day a few years back. He started when it was still dark and pretty much ran the whole thing. I'm not sure if I could do it in one day LOL.
Day three you'll really feel it. Don't sit when you're done, stay moving. HYDRATE!!!
Congratulations to you all---we did it last October 1st--and it has opened so many doors and my eyes at 65! Loved doing the hike--
I kind of believe some of the negative sentiment you're getting is anti-religious. Only in part, but I think its there.
13.7 miles from NR to Phantom Ranch. Not close 16 to 18 miles.
I remember sitting on the rim at sunrise talking to the Director of Safety for the Grand Canyon and 2 people wrapped in blankets having been rescued from the inner canyon as they almost died from dehydration and hyponatremia. It happens almost daily there as most people just aren't prepared for the extreme conditions.
Absolutely fantastic achievement, especially with the family. I did the North rim to the Colorado and back up in a day, but to do the round trip is incredible(Charley is my hero). Complete shout out to the family. It was in the 1980's when I used to hike the Canyon, so I was surprised not to see any mule urine or feces on the trail, especially at the switchbacks. This made it quite aromatic in the summers. Do the mules not go down the Kaibab any longer on either Rim? Thanks for sharing!
I did the rim to rim hike in my 30s spent the night in fantom ranch. Omg my legs were so sore after hiking out I could hardly walk for a week after
I'm just a TH-cam hiker and that ledge walking gave me shivers in the sofa. Regardless of everything, son deserves a LOT more respect for completing this, than was obvious from the video.
Husband n I were to do the mule ride to phantom ranch only to find out it was canceled do to heavy rain and wash outs of trails wasn’t safe for mules so very disappointed
There is nothing that I have done that is so humbling as experiencing the Grand Canyon from the inside. I love this place. 5 time backpacker of the canyon.
Wow
Crazy
Incredible
👍👍😎
Thanks for watching!!
stupid is as stupid does. what was your point. I hike to be in these great places not to see how fast I can get out.
I did rim to rim to rim when I was age 21. That was hard. 20 hours. We did it in a day.
I knew at 2:43 that you were probably going to die. :-(
Congratulations!!!
Thank you it was such an amazing hike and adventure!!
Only way to see the canyon is to raft through it!
You should wear a hat.
Thank you for watching my video! I had a hat packed with me! I also had a bandana that I would dip in the cold water along with applying sunscreen often!
What a hike!! Congrats to all of you and especially to your brother who did the rim to rim to rim! I bet he was exhausted!! Well done!!
Darwin at Work...
You guys are amazing but you guys did this with no supplies or first aid..yeah you had gps but you guys are taking a Chance here.and why people get rested all the time even the best of them
How do you figure they had no supplies? Did you see the stuff laid out on the bed at the beginning?
Not a wise thing to do in a day. Glad you made it.
Why on Earth would you be hiking the Grand Canyon, rim to rim, in 100-plus temperatures with your entire family? Incredibly reckless and dangerous!
What temp was it down there ? It just looks like pure suffering…no enjoyment whatsoever!
My dad and I...
Thanks Dad!
Lot to be proud of there🤙🏻
Appears that this was just something to get through rather than something to love doing. Too bad you missed the experience.
How many families can do this? Not one in a million! Fantastic effort all round.
Actually lots of time, tectonic activity, erosion created that. Not some god. Why would he? To torture you? Gods created in man’s image do cruel things like that. So human.
And who created the soil, who created the river/water? Who created the atoms that made up that soil and water?
@kenzangeobio3054 the bible tells me He is the Great I AM. The first and the last. He was the word, in the beginning, and the word was with God, and the word was God. We don't need to ask. It's up to us to have faith and carry on.
You don't understand religion if you think physical law and God are in contradiction. You should at least have some idea of what they believe if you're going to criticize. They believe God created the physical laws behind the processes you describe. Many physicists and mathematicians are Christian. I would know, they are my colleagues in the math department at the major university where I am employed. Physical law is incredibly mysterious. No physicist thinks it just "makes sense", we are all profoundly baffled. God is just as good an explanation as any, the situation is very, very weird. Arrogant people act like they understand it because they know a tiny bit of science. I have been studying science full time for more than a decade and KNOW I don't understand it...
What's the point here? The Grand Canyon is such a beautiful place. Take time to study the rock layers. Flora and Fauna. Enjoy the day while challenging yourself. Hiked the Canyon many times and it made me appreciate it more every time.
Exactly. Everyone knows that if you go to the Grand Canyon you should only stare at rocks. No hiking, no camping, no doing what ever you want to do in the great outdoors. Only rock staring and leaf sniffing.
I spent the night in a tent at the bottom. Didn't think it was possible to do all that in one day. If I had to do that again, I would stay two days at the bottom to allow my legs to get some more energy.
Well with a clicky bate title like "we almost died", you can expect some negative feedback. Oh by the way, this is TH-cam. There's a billion strangers out here.
😢 good work
How to avoid dying while hiking the Grand Canyon. Tip #1: don’t do it.
Something about this young woman’s style of speaking is pretty cool. Is it an accent? I don’t know what it is but it’s very different and I like it
Why!
