The World’s Ultimate Hike . . . Down

Most hikers brag about how far up they’ve gone, but what about treks going down into the earth?  For what has to be 1 of the world’s ultimate hikes, check out heading to the Grand Canyon, the place you can descend 1 mile down past eons well worth of rock layers, as is described in this NY Instances piece.

But it’s winter now, you have to wait right up until at least spring to go, ideal? Truly . . .

“And the initial point I learned is that for the Grand Canyon, winter is the time to go. As the chief district ranger John Evans advised me, ‘You’ll far more or less have the spot to oneself.’ Though the canyon is a desert, it’s a kind of oasis in winter — a area of peace, sequestered from the rest of the planet. In 3 days of hiking I noticed only two or three mule trains, each carrying baggage not riders, and maybe two dozen hikers in all.”
