  1. Oh Jen! This is just beautiful and the canyon is not bad either!! ?? such an incredible experience for you and thank you for sharing it xx

  2. Oo-ah! lol! The Grand Canyon is such a sight to see. Great tips about bringing water and possibly a diaper? LoL. Your pictures are great too, as always:)

  3. OMG. the pictures are so beautiful and I’m sure they are not doing justice to the beauty of this place.
    Ooh-Aah point is definitely the highlight coz the name is so funny! the imagination runs wild 😉

  4. Been there in 2010 and I remember being terrified of the heights. There was also a glass platform from which you could see the sights, but I did not dare to step on it.

  5. This looks absolutely amazing. I’ve always wanted to see the Grand Canyon. I had no idea there were so many hiking trails there too. This is a must to do with my bf in the future. Beautiful photos.

  6. I love hiking, especially in the morning when the sun isn’t too cruel, so thanks for the tips about bringing enough water. The grand canyon is famous and I love your photos. They give off this old American Western feel. Definitely on my bucket list. The Kaibib Trail sounds eastern or middle eastern? Is the name related to ancient historic migrations in anyway?

  7. I would LOVE to see the Grand Canyon one day! Good to know the info you shared. I much rather going the alternative way and I’d definitely take the route you suggested. Rhetoric question: since there is no water… I guess there is no WC either, right? (problem)

  8. Grand canyon always held the reputation of being a treat to a tourist’s eyes. And u justified it pretty well. Great blog and great pictures

    1. Hi Agnes! I definitely recommend you take plenty of water and pace yourself. Other than that, there are plenty of trails to choose from and you can go for multiple days if you want to try different ones out. The South Kaibib Trail was most easily done in a day for me. Also, don’t miss scenic viewpoints nearby like Desert Tower!

  9. The views are exceptional and the trail was very well managed. I would recommend this hike to anyone. Make sure you go all the way to the bottom. As well as go out to the viewpoint at Indian Garden.

  10. I went there two time already but didn’t plan to hike down there. This time I will go for only to hike down the trails. Thanks for your useful tips. Beautiful pictures.

  11. Wondering how this would be for a person afraid of heights? any places on the trail that has major drop offs or scary parts? Haha asking for a friend . Bright angel trail has walls on one side, this doesn’t seem to from photos thank you

    1. Wouldn’t be too concerned, you have walls to one side during the descent and a pretty wide walkway. There aren’t walls the whole time but I didn’t feel in danger of falling at any point. Hope this helps!

  12. I am 74 in very good physical shape I am worried about my endurance and do not know which trail to take
    I perspire excessive and worried about loosing my electrolytes and dehydration we are staying at phantom ranch I am thin but nervous is it steep the entire time

    1. It’s steep on the switchbacks. At any point you can turn back. If you’re staying at Phantom Ranch that means you need to go all the way down. I would check with them to see how to best do that, there may be horses available.
