R3, hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim to rim, The Death March.... A hike not for the faint of heart. Four of us will start this adventure the weekend of October 2nd. 40+ miles with more than 20,000 feet of elevation change as we start at the south rim make our way to the north rim and back - all under 24 hours. After all, if we do not make it in less than 24 hours, it is just a 2 day hike in the Grand Canyon.

In the beginning...
We arrived in Tusayan (just outside of the Grand Canyon National Park - south rim) at midnight on Friday, October 1st. A few hours of sleep and we were up at 5am to hit the trailhead by 6am. At the South Kaibab trailhead the temperature was 58 degrees. Every member of the party was optimistic, excited and enjoying the beautiful sunrise across the canyon.
