Rim to rim: we start at the North Rim, walk about 1,800 m down to the Colorado River, and climb out the other side to the South Rim. About 38 km, through almost two billion years of rock.
We take three days, not one, and sleep at the bottom near Phantom Ranch. Licensed guides handle the plan and the permits; you carry your pack. The North Rim reopened in 2026 after the big 2025 fire, so we'll also see the forest coming back.
The North Rim opens in mid-May, and the bottom of the canyon isn't at full summer heat yet. From mid-June it often goes above 40 °C / 104 °F by the river, which is dangerous.
Every layer you pass is older than the one above it. At the bottom, the dark rock by the river is almost 2 billion years old.
Phantom Ranch is the only lodge at the bottom of the canyon, open since 1922. We camp nearby, cool off in Bright Angel Creek and get the famous lemonade.
The last day is the big one: about 1,340 m up, past the oasis at Havasupai Gardens, to the most famous views in the park.
