The Grand Canyon's BEST backpacking trip. Ranked as one of the top trails in all of the United States' National Parks: The Escalante Route! 33 miles of the best views and landscape features the Grand Canyon has to offer.
On this 4 day 3 night trip, Kate and I bring along my dad for his first backpacking trip. The first day we hike 9 miles along the Tanner Trail to reach our campsite at Tanner Beach. Then we hike the 12 mile Escalante route over the course of 2 days. After that, we hiked out of the canyon on the Tonto and Grandview Trails. Links below to amazon are affiliate links!

So thrilled to see this video! I am the solo woman that ran into you guys at the Papago wall. Your family's story touched me deeply and your dad is a huge inspiration. Meeting you guys was the biggest highlight of my trip. Maybe we'll cross paths out there somewhere again someday!

@middleofwherever7157 4 года назад

So awesome that you found our video! We love meeting new people when we’re in the backcountry. Thanks! My dad is a huge inspiration to me.

Thank you and your father for this video. Im 49 Phoenix native and had a kidney transplant in 2019 and he truly has given me hope. This is the first video I've seen from you and you've done a really great job. Keep it up. Here's to your father and 2021

@anthonymendoza1327 2 года назад

Nice. I will always remember the last backpack trip I took with my Dad. That is an emotional memory for sure.

@martinforrester8249 2 года назад

There's nothing like sharing special times with family. Loved your video, so thankyou. I've hiked the Canyon many times since 1994, my last time 2012 ! I'm now an oldtimer Englishman from Shropshire. I'm now 77, so enjoy your hikes just like I used to do. Grand Canyon is my very favourite place in the world.

Absolutely amazing! So cool for you to share that with your dad and what an place to take the rest of us vicariously too!

@DonMulligan1 3 года назад

Beautiful vid. Just did this exact route. Dropped in at Lipan in 50 mph winds. Came out at Grandview in snow. Your dad is a trooper! The ascent out of there is no joke.

@marvinmeredith2193 4 года назад

Beautiful, inspirational, touching. Hats of to you guys for making memories in a situation where most will make excuses! I love the fact your channel is about the experience and not the gear, yes the gear makes it possible, but that’s not what it’s all about.

@mikezeinstra2869 3 года назад

Well done-and so important to share this with those you love!

Dude what a great video and channel. I found you thanks to Jerry Arizona. Your story telling is so on point, please keep making more hiking videos and soon with your style of shooting and editing you will surpass Dixie and Darwin.

@cnadasi6549 Год назад

Great video. Sorry if I missed this - what was the date of your trip? Wondering when area is snow free.

@anniebunbun Год назад

Great video! I also got a permit to go this May, just wondering how to go to Lipian point from Grandview point if there is only one car?

@SRHouser100 3 года назад

Great footage in this inspiring video! My son and I have permits to hike this same itinerary in December, but he wasn't super excited about it until we found and watched your video. Can you tell me what the overnight temperatures were on your trip?

@middleofwherever7157 3 года назад

Thanks! I’ve done a lot of backpacking in December/January in the Grand Canyon. It’s always colder at the rim than at the bottom. Expect snow and ice at the rim and about 30 degree temps at night in the bottom. I have had trips where I’ve had almost 0 degree nights, but that’s uncommon.

@alexdtucker 4 года назад

I've yet to do the Escalante route but you make it look beautiful, Katelyn and Jordan. I'll probably add it to my list for when I get back this fall. I'm a fellow Scamper so I look forward to following along on your journeys.
