Sink or Swim in the Grand Canyon

Into the Grand Canyon we go… Thanks for watching our Hayduke series. This is our favorite episode yet. (QUICK BACKGROUND) The Hayduke Trail is an 800 mile hiking route across southern Utah and northern Arizona. Before the hike, we buried food and water at six different locations to help us on our journey. EPISODE FIVE begins with Jarhead hiking to one of the food caches we buried. We had enough food to hike all the way to the North Rim Trailhead, six days away. The weather was hot and we had to be very careful about staying hydrated. Some of our favorite parts were: fording the beautiful turquoise blue water of the Little Colorado River feeling very remote while hiking on trails that don’t see a lot of traffic cooling down in the Colorado River Some of our least favorite moments were: the 113 degree heat that started to feel dangerous around 2pm each day trying to hike along the river with no trail and lots of thick vegetation chronic foot pain All of this led to a crazy week! We hope you enjoyed this episode. We have one more episode left on the Hayduke, stay tuned. This 800-mile (two month) hike is almost done! We really appreciate everyone who has reached out and supported us. It has been a huge undertaking going through all the footage and editing this series. Happy hiking out there!
