Grand Canyon Rim to Rim and Rim to Rim to Rim IN A DAY!!

WAY to GO Gracie and family! ❤❤❤ WOW! I am shocked at the negative remarks and all the doomed forewarning and what not…did ya’ll not see all the other folks out there hiking??? AND…Dad did NOTHING wrong! His son had already been out there and was doing this anyways….I think it’s cool Dad went along with his kids! They had water, food and plenty of others out on the trail. Way to live it up and make a memory…So many wimps out there these days…. Way to enjoy this beautiful life as a family!

Although I don’t think the tone of some of the earlier comments was necessary, it is true that lack of judgement was repeatedly shown; and the points made in those earlier comments were valid. When hiking do thorough research on what to wear, dangers unique to the area, etc. National Parks always have plenty of resources on their website (as does the GC). The father is most accountable for the mistakes made. His son could have died, and the father was pushing him on. I’m glad everyone made it out ok. Please, do your homework in the future, and take the advice and warnings from the park/rangers seriously.

I played college soccer with your dad and by watching this video, it doesn’t look like he’s lost a step! Great video and glad you guys crushed it

I just left there. So beautiful. I said the same thing, the creation of God.

Outstanding! I recently did a Grand Canyon 50 mile all along the north rim - tough experience! Can’t imagine dropping down into that heat as well!

Congrats on your great accomplishment. Great video.

Absolutely fantastic achievement, especially with the family. I did the North rim to the Colorado and back up in a day, but to do the round trip is incredible(Charley is my hero). Complete shout out to the family. It was in the 1980's when I used to hike the Canyon, so I was surprised not to see any mule urine or feces on the trail, especially at the switchbacks. This made it quite aromatic in the summers. Do the mules not go down the Kaibab any longer on either Rim? Thanks for sharing!

Great video! I'd love to do something like that. A friend of mine did R2R2R in one day a few years back. He started when it was still dark and pretty much ran the whole thing. I'm not sure if I could do it in one day LOL.

Wow Crazy Incredible 👍👍😎

Amazing hike gang. What a great experience. The son might get a few demerits in the will for leaving mom like that. Surprised the son went for the return trip as he looked done as well. But yall did it! Looks like I'll have to try this hike some day as well.

Lot to be proud of there🤙🏻

There is nothing that I have done that is so humbling as experiencing the Grand Canyon from the inside. I love this place. 5 time backpacker of the canyon.

I just came across your channel and wow…That was impressive! Also you go to school with one of my favorite YouTubers son. Caleb Leach (Keep your daydream) So cool.

GPS watches don't read accurately there. Your son's mileage was 46. Your wife's was 22. You and your daughter did 24. The way you guys did this was incredibly dangerous: Time of year. Time of day. Lack of proper training. Not knowing where you were, or the mileages to all of the significant locations (rest stops) and how far between each. No full brim shade hats, and your daughter in no hat with her entire neck, head, face, and shoulders frying in the high altitude sun. Tank top on your daughter, exposing so much of her to the sun. Not getting hair and shirts wet at every single water location, and in the all the creek crossings, as well as along Bright Angel Creek from Wall Creek, all the way to Phantom. Separating from mom and leaving her to fend for herself for over an hour on the climb, and who knows how long she was actually walking solo, and again, lack of training, lack of sun protection, not getting hair and clothing wet. 2 people have already been found dead on the River Trail (the section in the Gorge, from Black Bridge to the River Delta Rest Stop) this season, (in the last month), and it's "this" kind of hiking in the Canyon that leads to either needing to be rescued, or worse. With so much information available on YouTube alone, plus the video that Park Service released in April (posted on the NPS website, as well as here in YT), it's hard to understand the 4 of you going into the Canyon for more than a couple miles. I started backpacking there with wife in 2007, and we returned in 2008 with our 8yr old daughter, and came back year, after year. In 2015, My daughter and I started running R2R's, mid-Aug, on our birthdays, when she turned 16. We did that together 5yrs in a row, and then I started doing 2 a year, solo. Was just there at the end of May to run another Rim2River, as a speed run. I'll be there mid-Aug, to celebrate my 61st with another R2R run (we run them we don't walk or use poles). We/I rescue people like yourselves almost every trip in the Canyon, and we carry extra electrolyte and GU Roctane for such efforts, and it's a real disappointment to turn our vacation experience and training, into a rescue operation.

Goodness, all the negativity experts. 🤪 You guys pushed through and made it. 💪🏼 I have done Havasupai twice and it was amazing. Happy trails fam!

What a hike!! Congrats to all of you and especially to your brother who did the rim to rim to rim! I bet he was exhausted!! Well done!!

I spent the night in a tent at the bottom. Didn't think it was possible to do all that in one day. If I had to do that again, I would stay two days at the bottom to allow my legs to get some more energy.

Inexperience. Gotta love it. Glad we did not end up reading of your demise in the newspaper.

Congratulations!!!

I remember sitting on the rim at sunrise talking to the Director of Safety for the Grand Canyon and 2 people wrapped in blankets having been rescued from the inner canyon as they almost died from dehydration and hyponatremia. It happens almost daily there as most people just aren't prepared for the extreme conditions.
