Trail Talk: Conversations From South Kaibab

The Grand Canyon Hiker Dude Show

There's nothing like learning about Grand Canyon hiking from those in the midst of actually doing the Grand Canyon hiking. That's the premise for Trail Talk, a theme we'll tackle from time to time that will take you onto the trail for conversations and tips & tricks from those right in the middle of their adventures. Today, we head down a crowded South Kaibab during Spring Break, and meet a woman who thinks the Canyon might have saved her life, a mom who suddenly found herself trying to wrangle a loose mule, and a young couple celebrating their engagement with an unforgettable journey to Ribbon Falls.
