This brief tape will help backpackers prepare for the unique rigors of the Grand Canyon and serve as a palpable reminder not to take this hike lightly. Dedicated to the memory of a hiker who died in the canyon, the 20-minute video begins with a National Park Service Ranger outlining some of the trek's difficulties, followed by several interviews of hikers who got dehydrated, hurt, or started a brush fire by burning toilet paper. The tape is most useful in stressing that the easiness of the beginning downhill climb will not prepare hikers for the most strenuous part of the hike at the end as they climb out of the world's deepest canyon. Also helpful are the explicit instructions on what gear to pack (and for what season), what to wear, where to camp, weather alerts, and tips on saving energy. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Customer Reviews of Hiking Grand Canyon
Head Clogs I made this video. We hiked into the Canyon with the able help of the Grand Canyon Association and the Park Staff.....and don't forget the mule teams. Having read everything on the Canyon over the past thirty years, and visiting for four previous hiking/camping trips, I thought I was prepared for the amazing beauty and fragility of the Canyon. No. Like most things I love, it was dangerous and delicious, and tromped through by some of the most environmentally illiterate humans, I have encountered. The plan is to channel access to the GC, but I would heartily recommend closing off the entire canyon to all humans forever, unless they are willing to carry only a water bottle and a diary. I loved making this video, and I hope that everyone who intends to spend time in the Canyon watches it BEFORE you go. Leave beauty behind you as you leave.
