Grand Canyon – Rim to Rim
This is one of the best day hikes in the world, and a must do for the serious marathon day tripper. One optimal time for this Grand Canyon Rim to Rim hike is as late as possible in the season but while the North Rim Lodge is still open, which around October 15, the day I did it.
It's 21 miles from South Kaibab trail or 24 miles on the Bright Angel trail. The total elevation climb is about 6000'. These statistics match a one-day Mt Whitney hike (24 miles, 6000') but is easier due to 6000' less altitude -
Doug, the long time owner of whitney store, was quoted on 8/27/02 to an inquiring new hiker: "Anyone who carries a heavy pack back up to Trail Camp instead of day-hiking this has 2'x4's for brains."
我们backpacking 主要是因为害怕高原反应的影响，实际上放风和我都有高反的症状。
如果你走r to r 的话，我就考虑走r to r to r in 24 hours, 看起来非常有挑战性。 |
