Grand Canyon R2R2R Part 3 - North Kaibab To Bright Angel

Grand Canyon R2R2R Part 2 - Phantom Ranch To North Kaibab

The Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim hike “R2R2R” is an amazing 48.3 mile trek (our consistent GPS readings), with an elevation change of 20,000 feet, and a potential temperature change of 70 +degrees. Warning – regular hiking tips don’t cut it in the GC. You need to do special training, understand the perils of canyoneering, and take exactly the right gear or you might die.

Not many sites do a good job explaining how difficult the R2R2R hike really is. Here are some stats!

R2R Day 1, South Kaibab to North Kaibab Trail: 56,735 steps, 27.16 miles, equivalent of 551 flights of stairs.

R2R Day 2, North Kaibab to Bright Angel Trail: 60,276 steps, 28.84 miles, equivalent of 441 flights of stairs.

Need a visual? How about this: 17 miles into the first day of the South Rim to North Rim hike you will climb up the Empire State Building 3.46 times at an average grade of 30% between the Supai Tunnel and the North Kaibab trailhead.

At a high elevation of 8,325 feet. Most of us live and work out in much lower elevations and this is a critical fact.
