Ep79 – The R3 Reality Check: Why Rim2Rim2Rim Isn’t Just Another Hike
Episode 79
Tuesday, 13 May, 2025
Thinking about hiking Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim in a single day? Hold up. In this episode, Brian lays down a no-nonsense warning for anyone dreaming of the Grand Canyon’s vaunted “double crossing.” Even ultra-fit hikers have been humbled—or worse—by the brutal demands of this 42+ mile trek with 20,000 feet of elevation change. It’s not just long. It’s relentless. It’s dangerous. And it will expose every weakness you didn’t know you had. This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s reality. And if you're serious about attempting R3, you owe it to yourself to hear this. ***** Please join the Hike Tribe Grand Canyon Facebook group—the official group of The Grand Canyon Hiker Dude Show—by clicking here.
