Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim | with Grand Canyon Employee “TEX!”

Did a wonderful solo Rim to Rim to Rim hike in mid-September 2024. I lucked out with a full moon so I hiked South Kaibab to North Kaibab on day one (21 miles, 11 hr 25 min),and had a layover day on the north rim where Jake Reynolds and our dog Shotta drove around to meet me. We visited the Brighty statue, had breakfast and dinner in the lodge, and rode their mules down to Supai tunnel. On day 3, I hiked halfway back across to Phantom Ranch and visited my rancher friends. And on day 4, I hiked up the South Kaibab and celebrated with breakfast at El Tovar. 9/17/24 South Kaibab to North Kaibab 11 hr 25 min (12:10 am start, 11:35am finish) 3 hr 50 min down SK, 7 hr 25 min up NK 9/19/24 North Kaibab to Phantom Ranch 13.6 miles 6 hr 40 min down NK (5:30 am start, 12:10 pm finish) 9/20/24 Phantom Ranch to South Kaibab 7.4 miles 4 hr 45 min up SK (3:45 am start, 8:30 am finish)
