Day Hiking the Grand Canyon! | Complete Hiking Guide to the South Kaibab Trail

Hey everyone! In this video, you will journey with me to complete the Rim-to-River Challenge at the Grand Canyon via the South Kaibab Trail! In total, I hiked 17.8 miles, climbing 5,082 feet elevation in a little under 12 hours. I start at the South Kaibab trailhead (South Rim), and cross Ooh Aah Point, Cedar Ridge, Skeleton Point, the Tipoff, and before finally reaching Phantom Ranch.

I started the hike at 6:30am and ended at 7pm, taking breaks along the way to film and enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. In the winter, the sun sets extremely early, so be sure to bring a head light! Also don't forget extra layers, bring enough water (you can fill your bottle at Phantom Ranch), and budget your time appropriately. It takes double the amount of time to climb up than it does going down!

Overall, the sunrises and sunsets at the Grand Canyon are beautiful. I would recommend catching the sun rise at Ooh Aah Point, and take breaks along the way up to gaze at the sky full of stars during nightfall.
