As the North Rim continues to burn and Rim-to-Rim becomes impossible for the foreseeable future, Brian returns to the trail to share what is still possible. This episode documents a full Rim-to-River hike from South Kaibab to the Colorado River and back up Bright Angel—complete with trail tips, logistics, elevation insights, and hard-earned wisdom.
Whether you’re pivoting plans or finding your way back to the Canyon after heartbreak, this iconic route offers a challenge worthy of your effort—and a reminder that memories below the rim are still waiting to be made.
