This is a list of my Grand Canyon trip reports with photos. My experience includes an estimated 1,650 miles of hiking over 155 days, with 57 nights spent in the backcountry.
I’ve listed the day-hikes first, followed by the overnight backpacking trips. Don’t overlook the day-hikes, as many of them tend to cover a lot of ground with some awesome destinations.
I first came to the Canyon in May of 2008, to live and work at the South Rim as a seasonal employee. I’ve gone away a number of times, but always seem to come back. I still live here today. This is what has allowed me to do so many individual hikes.
It’s not my recommendation for you to attempt to duplicate any of these itineraries without the proper experience. There’s no substitute for personal hiking experience below the rim of the Grand Canyon. The conditions here are like no other place, with a whole new set of rules for those that are accustomed to the trails in the mountains.
This list is specifically for hikes in the Grand Canyon backcountry. I have a separate list for photography at the overlooks Along The Rim and around the village.
