Grand Canyon — Rim to Rim to Rim

In 2019, my wife and I visited the Grand Canyon for the second time together, and spent six beautiful days hiking across it, South to North, and back again. We took our time, enjoyed a side hike or two along the way, and left the canyon with a new list of trails to come back to.

Having stayed at Bright Angel Campground, Cottonwood Campground, and Indian Garden Campground, we felt like we fully absorbed the “corridor” and truly lucked out with clear skies and comfortable, early Fall temperatures.

Distance: roughly 50 miles
Time: 5 nights
