Hiking in the Grand Canyon is different from mountain hiking. The hike to the bottom involves descending more than 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) in elevation. The elevation change, combined with carrying a heavy backpack, is very hard on knees, ankles, feet, and toes. Blisters and traumatized toenails are common. The 5,000 foot (1,524 meters) hike out of the canyon occurs at the end of the hike when hikers are mentally and physically drained. Difficulty increases as hikers approach the top reaching elevations of 7,000 to 8,000 feet (2,134 to 2,434 meters). Distances in the canyon are deceiving due to the rugged terrain... We have 2 open spots for our hike in September. Anyone interested?! For real... If youre interested, Ill give you details!
