The South Kaibab-Bright Angel Loop
It is only natural, standing atop Grand Canyon, to gaze into the depths below the rim and wonder if it’s possible to hike all the way down to the river and back in a single day.
Hiking rim-to-river offers the ultimate Grand Canyon experience—a ‘trip through time’ traversing twelve distinct geologic formations. Attempting the entire route in a day, however, is not a trivial undertaking (more…)

Andy, I really appreciate your accounts. In my opinion you’re an excellent writer and you pull me in to the story. Your writing style isn’t banal nor is it too lofty, it is candid real but not crass. Your articles really brighten my day, inform me and bring my thoughts back to the mountains, canyons, and other wild places of this earth. I know it may not mean much to you, for whatever reason you do write, but I really like and appreciate what you do. Thank You for doing what you do.

You inspire me, Bro! My Dad and I are hiking to Treasure Lakes above Bishop Creek’s south fork on Saturday morning. I’ll be thinking, “How would Andy describe this?”

Thanks so much for your informative narrative and great pictures. I am hiking the South Kaibab, Tonto, Bright Angel loop on April 30, 2011. I will let you know how it goes, but your pics prepared me. I have been training for this trip over 10 months and while not as far as your adventure..or as hot, it will be quite a trip. Thanks again.
