► ABOUT THIS HIKE
In November 2023 I set out with my friend / @sheety33 on a backpacking adventure down in the Grand Canyon of Grand Canyon National Park. We hiked the Escalante route from Lipan point via Cardenas, Seventy-Five Mile Canyon, the Papago Wall, Squeeze and Slide to Red Canyon. Scott Hiked out at Red Canyon while I continued solo on the East Tonto Trail to Phantom Ranch, where I spent my last night. I then hiked up via the South Kaibab Trail.

The guy does it like no other. Incredible work. I'm a super fan
Thanks (:
Real shit
listen @petergrant386.. THANK YOU for saying this.. it will greatly support what I have to say.. in my own comment.. :)
@@matthewhopf8027 your comment comments itself.. that's what YOU are.. trolling Harmen's work.. like a LOSER.. no.. actually AS a LOSER..
,,👍
When I watch him everything around me disapears. The peace I feel and my heart fills with so much love ❤
Thanks for sharing that!
,,👍
The way you capture the beauty of nature nobody else does it better than you.❤
,,👍
This is a beautiful example of the fact that you don't need words to tell a story. Well done, sir. Your style from the composition of your shots to your editing is superb. I'm excited to see what you create next.
,,👍
I remember when this channel had about 10K subscribers. Some of us put in comments saying that it was going to get much, much bigger. 217K now and growing. High quality work IS rewarded. Keep it up 😁
Thank you for your continued support! (:
,,👍
I love how much these videos focus on the landscapes and making you feel like you're there. The thing that irks me about most nature documentaries is that they'll say it's about the Grand canyon, and then show scenery for about 10 minutes (of an hour long episode), then pan to like a squirrel family or something for the rest of it. Not this guy. He really gets it!
Haha, love hearing that, thanks!
,,👍
Harmen, you are a great inspiration for all of us to declare deep love and protection for nature. Congratulations on your work.
Greetings from Spain.
Thank you!
,,👍
Nature is magnificent, but watching it through Harmen's camera magnifies it even more. It's always a delight to watch his videos, and this one is no exception. Thank you Harmen.
So nice of you, thanks!
,,👍
Love the duo theme, friendship in wilderness. 😂
Glad to hear that! Trying out new things. I love hiking solo, but once in a while some company is nice. Still try to keep it silent though!
,,👍
Another absolute cinematic masterpiece, the camera angles, the composition of the shots, the music, the colour grading and everything in between is absolutely perfect, thank you for another incredible video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
,,👍
Dear beloved brother Harmen!
This year mark my 21 year living in Arizona!🏜️
I’m a big fan of your and since your first hiking video, I did offer that if you are ever make it to Arizona please let me know because I have room for you to stay however long you like!
But I guess that you are a very busy person!
As always, you captured shots that no other can! You work really hard by waking up very early so that you can get the most out of the morning lights and to avoid crowds!
I appreciate how you included Cactuses 🌵 in this film and that is very special because they are a significant part of Arizona!🏜️🌵
I feel very honored watching your films Harmen!
Your works will bring Joy and Happiness to many people around the World 🌎 for generations!
I am deeply grateful for your loving kindness and compassion Harmen!🙏
,,👍
I spent 5 days trekking the GC before I got ill. SO glad to see you doing part of this one with a friend - its such an unforgiving place at any time of year. Another jaw-droppingly excellent video. I am stunned at the quality of your work. THANK YOU!
Thank you! Glad you were able to do that, and hope you are doing ok now.
,,👍
My dear brother Harmen, as a strict follower of yours, I think you are a very, very good man, even though I never hear your voice. as nature lover and a walker, I watch all your videos with pleasure, I am grateful to you for these beautiful shares. You take me to the ends of the world while watching you. In my country, in the city of Rize in Turkey, there are countless routes in the Kaçkar Mountains that you should see. Since the Kaçkar Mountains are a remnant of the ice age, there are great routes without people at approximately 3000-4000 meters. I strongly recommend that you plan a very nice route of 100-150 miles in length where you will take quality shots. Even though I have never heard your voice, I wanted to do you a favor by recommending this route because I thought you were a very good man.
Thank you, man. Glad you like the silent aspect of these films. I hope to visit Turkey some day!
Yes, the Kaçkar Mountains are a beautiful area! I passed through the region many years ago on bicycle. The scenery is similar to Georgia except, like you said, there are very few people. It would be a wonderful place to trek!
,,👍
Anyone who has experienced trekking in the wild and has had the chance to contemplate intense pieces of landscapes knows how inspiring and soothing it is. it's a life changing experience. Those unique feelings are wonderfully conveyed in your videos. I just want to pack my back and go!
,,👍
I very much enjoy having videos from Harmen playing in the shop while I work. Amazing stuff.
The magic of nature leaves you breathless and you never get bored of it. Very relaxing and of course with Nick Box with the legendary song Heavens.
,,👍
I've never been to America, and the sheer variety in the biomes there is stunning. Some atavistic part of me is soothed seeing the raw magnitude of these places, of the reminder that the world is _much_ bigger than the age of fast travel and constant connectivity tricks us into thinking. We're microbes on the skin of the world, and we've forgotten how much we belong under a clean sky.
All this to say, this was just plain lovely filming. 💚
I had the privilege of visiting in 2022, but only had time for a day hike. There is no other place like the Grand Canyon, absolutely stunning. Thank you for taking us on an adventure with you!
,,👍
Job 38:4-6
“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?
To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone.
Good bible text at the end 👏🙏
Thanks! Love that verse
Very cool, thanks again! You conveyed a true sense of how small we are in comparison to the nature around us.
,,👍
Prachtig en indrukwekkend mooie ervaring, sceneries en film. Bedankt Harmen voor het delen van jouw bijzondere hike door de Grand Canyon ❤
,,👍
Amazing!!! I see it is a challenging hike, so it was nice/surprising to see you with company. Thanks for the message at the end. Greetings from South America
,,👍
I've loved every one of your videos, but this canyon video speaks deeply to my love of the desert. I've hiked the Fish River Canyon in Namibia twice, and hope to do it again soon. It is rated as the world's second largest canyon, after the Grand Canyon. Please consider hiking the Fish River Canyon some time, it is an amazing experience, and your style of silent hiking is so well suited to the desolation of the Namibian Desert. Bravo to your amazing work!
WOW, Harmen. Have never seen the Grand Canyon presented in such a magical otherworldly context. The gorgeous lighting & colors were really enhanced. Loved the moon shots & your parting shot. You definitely have the special gift. GREAT JOB ❤🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸👍🏻
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this one too, it sure was one of my favorite treks from last year. I love the desert, the colors and the lighting. It's such a unique place.
,,👍
What a treat! Thank you! The cinematography and the sound are just unparralleled for any hiking videos/films out there! I"m so glad I was among your first subscribers! I sometimes go back and rewatch your films, that's how good they are ❤
Awesome, thank you!
,,👍
Brilliant film! I loved the intro and also the end. Music was special in this video esp towards the end. It captures how majestic The Grand canyon is! Thank you again Harmen for this film. Enjoyed it! Looking forward to the next video already coz every film you make just gets better and better. 😍
Thank you, Justine! Glad you liked this one as well. All the best to you!
@@HarmenHoek Thank you Harmen! Likewise! 🙂
,,👍
Harmen, your channel is church to me, and the Grand Canyon is the cathedral. The ever changing light on the panoramas, the close ups of flora and fauna (even the little beetle!), the music you choose, the comforting simplicity of your daily practices on the trail, it’s all like a sacrament for the beauty of our natural world. Thank you! It’s not enough to cover how this makes me feel, but Thank you!
(I clapped like a school girl when you mailed post cards delivered by mule…last place in the US that does that. I have postcards from 45 years ago from Phantom Ranch!)
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed it, and I love those cards too. I have 2 'Mailed by Mule' stamps in my passport from 2017 and now from 2023. (;
This is exactly how I feel!
,,👍
Fond memories of my visit to the Grand Canyon last October, but just to the South Rim. This amazing video shows that there's so much more to this incredible landscape.
I love it too! There's something special about that desert
,,👍,
Cottonwood leaves makes a nice sound when they rustle
Yes they do! I love those little oases in the desert
Drone opening w the cloud shadows amazing. See you in Banff HH.
Thanks, Joe! See you soon!
Looking forward to this as well. I would love to watch a hiking video of Sedona, AZ. You may have already thought of it, but it’s also another gorgeous, scenic, spiritual place. Just a thought! Happy travels!
Hope you enjoyed this one! Thanks for the tip, love that area!
You’ve inspired me to get out there, I’m grateful Harmen 🙏🏼
Glad to hear that!
Another adventure in the book of life my friend 🤜🏻One of the most adventurous treks through the wildest and remote places on earth. I need to go back and complete the section I missed now! Fantastic film my friend - until the next adventure 🤙🏻
It was fun hanging out with you on trail, to more of these adventures 🍻
So glad you brought people through the Escalante! You made that landslide look casual. Thanks for this footage.
Wonderful Video, really enjoyed watching this brought back memories from our honeymoon trip this year 🌎💕
So glad!
Another stunner! I felt immersed in the beautiful landscape! Thank you and God bless you ✝️
You are so welcome
Stunning!!!! Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼ve
Thank you! You too!
I’ve never been to the other places of your films except for GC so I really enjoyed this one because I recognize the places I’ve been. Beautifully done! I especially like your brief slow pans. I don’t know how you do it but it is a nice touch.
It's an amazing place! Thanks for the compliments. The panning shots are done with a small motorized slider
Another master piece! So much work on it! Beautiful.
Incredible. The most beautiful images of the Grand Canyon I've ever seen. Last thought, though, was a worry about your second hiking pole having rolled off into the canyon in that last shot 😆. Thank you for sharing, as always.
Haha, very well spotted! It did bounce off, but got caught in a tree, so was able to recover it afterwards. (; Thanks!
Stunning video
Studying the Grand Canyon in geology courses, doesn't reveal the true beauty of the place like this video does. Thank you!
It's a one of kind place for sure!
Visually spectacular, as always. Thanks!
Yet another beautiful video, Harmen. Thank you.
Wow! From someone who has hiked it 5 times. Thank you So much! Hiking the Tonto Plateau has always been my favorite! Your video is amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it! I love the desert
Hi from France ! Congratulations for this video , fantastic as always ! Thanks for sharing 🙂👍
Thank you very much!
@@HarmenHoek no, you, thank you so much for helping us dream😊👍
Astonishing places.. marvellously filmed!! Really well done Harmen!! 👏👏👏👏
The footage, the music, no words needed....I really enjoy your stunning video's!
Fantastic cinematography! Epic!!!
Your work literally forces me to watch with my heart ✨❤️
That was spectacular!!! and the outro with such bombastic cinematic music...outstanding! once again a masterpiece!!! thanks for bringing us the world.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This one brought back some great memories for me as I did a 5 day hike starting a the S. Kaibab trail to the Phantom Ranch and them up Bright Angle to the Tonto Plateau trail over to Monument Canyon which is absolutely beautiful and then over to Hermit Canyon and then back to the top. I wish I had the abilities you have with your equipment and film expertise but at least I can live vicariously through your presentation and absorb myself in your incredible adventure. I did not even know there was a trail weaving through the bottom of the canyon as where you were traveling for the first half of the film. That would be wonderful to stay low in the canyon for that length of the trip. Thanks much for the adventure Harmen!
I have no words adequate enough. Thank you for sharing this with us.👍🏼
your best journey, every moment is so important, so inspiring
outstanding, a breath of fresh air from all other hiking videos. Thank you for sharing 🙌
Just amazing, Carmen, thank you thank you thank you for sharing your incredible travels !
My pleasure!
I absolutely loved this one. No one compares with your work.
Thank you for taking us on your magical journeys again and again! You films are inspiring and motivating, it shows how beautiful nature can be without having to describe it with words, the pictures speak for themselves. Keep up the good work.
Simply everything you do is wonderful - for this one it is the light, the rocks, the river, the trees for my favorite canyon
Another beautiful movie of trails less traveled! Thank you for always finding these peaceful and untouched lands to broaden my vision. It’s visual feasts in watching them. The mule troop passing was cute! You may want to wear trail gaiters to avoid sands getting into your socks and shoes. Congratulations! job well done again!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the tip on the gaiters!
Beautiful movie Harmen, we really like your cinematic way of documenting your hikes and we fill many Friday evenings with it. Your reference to Job 38 was spot on! Keep on shooting.
Awesome Harmon.....simply awesome...thank you
Thanks!
Wow.....breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.
Appreciate it!
Really good as always Harmen, thank you! A great depiction of the GC and the U.S. desert southwest in general😊😊
In awe! Stunning scenery. Great video, great hiking. Harmen, you are out of this world!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful simply beautiful, your amazing films reminds me how lucky we are to live on this planet and how spectacularly breathtaking it's beauty is. Thank you 🙏🏼❤

So nice of you, Mario, thanks!
Everytime I watch your video’s I feel that I am there with you. What a great experience..!

Amazing memories of hiking the Grand Canyon. Thanks for sharing

Can't wait!!
Beautiful film as always, thanks for the upload. A treat!
Glad you enjoyed it
Stunning film as always.👏👏👏
So stunning down to earth, such a sense of place and perspective intimate and grand.
Really love this concept! Silence and self-concentration is what I am looking for in mountains. And that is also the biggest benefit of your videos. Less is more and still so beautiful!
WOW… another beautiful video Harmen, well done 👏 you really know how to capture the essence of a place. There are some stunning visuals in here to enjoy as with all your videos. It’s a treat to follow your adventures. Keep it up! Thank you
Thank you so much 😀
Always beautiful work! Would love more, more, more! Hour long or more is perfect. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the compliment!
Totally brilliant, yet again! 👏
Another masterpiece! Thank you so much!
Another one incredible , amazing , epic video🙂Τhanks for sharing
Thanks again!
Kudos for doing this, and for sharing the amazing experience! I love what you do so much and will always support you. The first video of yours that I watched was the Summer Peaks of Balkans and now it has been 2 years and as I follow you I feel that we're growing and developing together regardless of where we are in the world.
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic video, Harmen! I was doing nearly the same route as you at almost the same time - probably only a day or 2 before or after you. We did Tanner to Escalante to Bright Angel Nov 8 - 13, 2023. You captured the beauty and grandeur of the canyon so well, and it really brought me right back! I sat watching in absolute awe! Happy trails!
Amazing video Sir, Thank you!
Thank you Harmen for this splendid video! Amazing landscapes 😍
Glad you like them!
My pleasure!
Ty so much!! Just exquisite❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for these videos, they are the best
I watched this film 5 times. It is just excellent! One of the best Outros of all time!
Wow, what a magnificent video! The breathtaking landscapes of the Grand Canyon are captured so beautifully, and the background music complements the scenery perfectly. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with us!
Thank You Harmen.. This is art.. Awestruck by it..
Wow, incredible scenery. The shot at 1:30 - 1:45 mins was just awe inspiring, have kept going over and over that bit - the scale!!
My favorite shot too! I still remember framing that one. I had to walk 10 minutes to get that shot, but I knew right away it was worth it. Thanks for sharing!
your channel was just suggested to me and I immediately watched an older video of yours. It is unbelievable what you do, your videos incredibly beautiful. Great shots, great editing, great music. Thank you for your work, you very talented guy. I have a lot to watch now 🤩
Thank you Harmen. I enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing! When im stuck inside programming, this just inspires me and get me excited for my own next hiking adventure
Go for it!
I wish I was there! Beautifully shot
