About this event

The Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim is the ultimate Grand Canyon challenge: ~47 miles of trail with over 10,000 feet of elevation gain - traversing from the South Rim to the North Rim and back in a single push.

 

You'll descend through five distinct ecological zones, cross the Colorado River, summit the North Rim at 8241 feet, and face the grueling return - where the hardest climbing comes when you're most fatigued.

 

Our 12-week training program prepares you for the unique demands of canyon travel and the mental fortitude required to finish strong.

 

ROUTE OVERVIEW:

 

Bright Angel → North Kaibab → North Kaibab → Bright Angel

We descend the Bright Angel Trail from the South Rim to Phantom Ranch, climb the North Kaibab Trail to the North Rim, descend North Kaibab back to Phantom Ranch, then finish with the climb up Bright Angel to the South Rim.
