Backpacking the Grand Canyon 2019 | Tanner Trail | Escalante Route | Grandview Trail

This is a 5 day backpacking trip in March of 2019. We begin at the Tanner Trailhead at Lipan Point and end at Grandview Point via the Escalante Route. It's a challenging hike, but my niece Christine and I work together as a team to route find and face other obstacles. Please check out Christine's video from this trip on her channel link below...

    The Grand Canyon is so hard and so worth it. I almost passed out from pain on the way down with arthritis and was panicked about getting out, but had no issues, beating my friend by over 2 hours. We used Yak trax for the ice at the rim. I didn't even know what they were before a trip to REI to buy crampons. They were a game changer. We benefited from a last minute cancelation at phantom ranch the week of christmas. I'll never forget it.

    Really loving your productions. I did a part of this route several years ago. It was down New Hance to the rapids, stayed in the creek area below Horseshoe Mesa, stayed on Mesa then hiked out. On the Mesa day, we explored the cave and all of the surrounding historical items. Funny, your friend has more modern cook techniques with the freeze dried meals and the jetboil. I switched to those years ago and love them. Before, I had the same rig you had.

    What a fun trip. Did the same but in reverse in 1986. It snowed hard on the rim, and we were not able to follow the Tanner Trail to the rim. Had to backtrack. Grandview was also snowed in, so it was all the way back to the South Kaibab trail. An epic trip! Great memory. Thanks for this... truly enjoyed!

    Only one crow, a scorpion and I only heard a few birdies chirping in the background, within the entire area? Not surprising given the wild conditions. The river is the only living thing in sight. I think it helps enormously to drink its water, it holds a lot of memory and gives the mind a leg up.

    Well, Ladies, you broke my heart. I should have been there. FANTASTIC hike. Great video! KUDOS, tough trail. I was trying to decide if I was going back this year, but you have convinced me. The views are gorgeous, only you own eyes can perceive the beauty. And it is the 100th anniversary. Thank you Cat and Christrine!!!

    Thank you John! You are right about seeing the Grand Canyon with your own eyes. I’m not sure any video can do it justice. Hope you had an awesome trip!

    About 2 hours ago I just finished climbing out of hance canyon and used Grandview to get out. That section from hance canyon to Grandview was insane. The sun was baking me, thank God for that little mine shaft. Excellent video!

    @@CatherineGregoryAdventures yeah, I work at hermits rest and go down frequently but that was my first time down to hance rapids. I went down new hance trail and over to Grandview in 3 days. It was way more difficult then most main trails around here. Escalante route sounds brutal

    It's great to see how your endurance is improving, definitely some challenging sections encountered. So pleased to see you had a good partner the Grand Canyon is not for the faint of heart that's for sure. I also think you picked a great time of year to hike some months can be dangerously hot and its easy to see how some hikers get into trouble. Glad you enjoyed it and well done your gear selection looked good and your videography was excellent as always.

    Thank you so much Paul. I probably wouldn’t attempt a Grand Canyon hike past March. Even March can be hot some years. We were very lucky with the weather.

    Wow, such an epic journey! Breath-taking scenery and beautifully shot as usual! I've hiked in GC, but never a GC backpacking trip (much to my regret). I have done many other back packing trips in the High Sierra- some of them uncomfortable, some painful and a few that were downright scary. I wouldn't trade any of that for the world! It's trips like that that really puts the mundane day to day routine of work and city life into perspective. Thank you!
