Grand Canyon Trail Run Documentary (CRAZY ENDING MUST WATCH) cinematic

One Day Run, rim to river to rim loop. Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch back up bright angel trail head.. “One of the world’s natural wonders; fourth deepest canyon in the world; and a spot that should be on every bucket list ”

Running from the Rim to the River and back in one day is not recommended by the park service, but it is doable if you come prepared and know your limits. If this is done as a two day undertaking, staying at either Phantom Ranch, or the Bright Angel or Indian Garden campgrounds requires a permit, which are very hard to come by.

Counterclockwise (descending the AZT - Passage 38 - South Kaibab trail and ascending the Bright Angel Trail) is the NPS's recommended direction of travel. Water is available year-round all along the Bright Angel Trail, and you’ll find more shade in the Garden and Pipe Creek canyons; as well as covered resthouses at the Indian Garden Campground 4.5 miles in, and at the three mile and one-and-a-half mile resthouses. Bringing enough water and food are key to a safe success.

As a rule of thumb, for every 1,000 feet of elevation lost, you’ll gain five degrees Fahrenheit. With a loss of nearly 4,500 ft, Phantom Ranch can easily exceed the hundreds in hot month

The Grand Canyon is a place of sheer enormity. At its deepest, the canyon plunges 6,000 feet into the earth - more than a mile! And the Bright Angel Fault, the canyon's widest spot, stretches 18 miles across. Seeing the Grand Canyon from the rim is one thing, but being able to experience it from the river looking up is something indescribable.

From the rim to the river - a loss of nearly 4,500 feet - you'll see more than a billion years of Earth's history up close, and pass through a number of different life zones along the way. You'll see and experience things you can't anywhere else in the world.
It's not any easy route, but the effort is more than rewarding.
