    One of the only things I watch on UA-cam is backpacking videos of potential places I want to go to. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Great job. Awesome work. Thank you for this

    I solo hiked this route as a dayhike in 2020, it was amazing. Thanks for the video

      Hi Jeff. Yes, it was an amazing hike. A bucket list hike. We did see a few hikers with daypacks. You must be very fit to hike it in a day. Our concern was just the water source or lack of it.

    I have always wanted to do that hike and at 72 I don’t think in this lifetime but I loved going with both of you

      I believe this is one of the must hikes in a lifetime. I also believe it doesn’t have to be several miles. Hiking down bright angel and staying at the Indian garden or one of the campsites near the colorado river is full filling enough. Hope you try it in this lifetime.

      I'm 70 and hiking the entire length of the Tonto Trail is one the treks I have on my GC hiking resume
      3.5 years ago I got sick ; stroke , cancer ,a-fib , aortic valve replacement

      Down the BA>Tonto East to Hance Rapids> Escalante Route to Tanner > Beamer to the Confluence >Out via the the Tanner with a dry camp on the saddle between Escalante and Cardenas Buttes

    How did you feel hiking through the beautiful grand canyon? What season did you go, did your knees hurt all that hard way? You maybe felt great, i think you were rejuvenated.Many greetings from Greece.Yet I noticed that you didn't cross any bridges, while other walkers crossed two or three bridges along the way. Why didn't you cross them? 💝💝💝

    • @FirstHandExplore

      Hi. Thank you for watching. This is a bucketlist hike. We are glad we did it while we still can. My knees only hurt the first day going downhill with all that weight on my pack. There are no bridges as the Tonto trail goes along the colorado river and not across it. Other videos you watched are probably the RIM to RIM trail which is also great but crowded. If you plan to camp in the Grand Canyon you need to apply for permit. A lot of hikers do the RIM to RIM trail as a day hike to prevent getting camping permit thus it is crowded.

      @lizkemna269. Unfortunately I don’t weigh my pack. I’m a heavy loader to lessen my wife’s load. I think my pack is more than 30 lbs. I should weigh it next time though.
