"What a day, what an amazing, incredible day. We walked through storm and wind and rain and snow; we saw beautiful vistas down into the canyon, we were enveloped in swirling and blowing snow so thick we couldn't see down into the canyon at all; we watched snow fall down into the canyon, falling far below us... We walked from Hermit's Rest (where we got a fortifying cup of coffee to start) to the Visitor's Center, all in one go. We cut it short there, as we wanted to make it back to the hotel in time to rest and refresh ourselves for dinner at the El Tovar Dining Room (fancy!). What an amazing, incredible day. My cold weather gear was just right; I was warm without being too hot, and I never got wet. Such a great walk, a fantastic way to enjoy the beauty and majesty of the canyon - and for me, this was my first time seeing it in the snow. " — psychikingjes • Mar 5, 2022
"The original plan was to hike from Bright Angel TH to Yaki Point, then descend down South Kaibab to Phantom Ranch & back up Bright Angel. The weather started to turn and we didn't really sleep the night before, so we changed the plan. We hiked from Bright Angel to Yaki Point along the Rim Trail, hitting the overlooks along the way. After that, we took the tram back to near Mather Point and followed the Rim Trail the other way all the way to Hermit's Rest, hitting all of the overlooks along the way there. We ended up with nearly 20 miles on the day. We endured rain and some light hail along the way, but were treated to some fantastic views. Rim Trail is a new favorite!" — Kevin • Nov 7, 2020
"Grand Canyon trip with my Family. The kids 1st time to the South Rim. Oct 23-25.
Grandest of all Canyons. Kids got 11 miles, Jimmy got 21 miles and I got in 26 miles of running and hiking bliss. We had such a blast together and didn’t waste a single moment. I didn’t know we could experience so much joy in just a short weekend....on these overlooks listed on this day, we all took a bus tour to Hermits rest. I got off at the Abyss and ran 4 miles back to the Maswik Lodge to meet them for Breakfast and then we drove home.
