Earth porn indeed, damn that's beautiful

I'm always shocked by how a photo taken at a specific moment can feel like it was taken on a whole different world

Instantly thought of Reach.

I love this.

Sure, it’s do-able if you’ve planned it that way and are in shape for it. The guy we were talking with was planning on starting the hike back at around sunset that night though. Idk what his definition of fast-hiking was though. They were faster than my group (we had one person around 70 and one around 78), but slower than another group who were jogging down.

Never been out to big white yet. Need to make that happen sometime. Apex was fun. Good snow out that way.

I got a tattoo in Banos back in 2013. Such a cool little town.

If they were fast hiking it, it's not unrealistic to finish in 12-14 hours and not have to do a ton of it at night.

3hr with pauses to take photos and let cars pass isn’t bad at all. My kids will survive that drive

Just a guess as the snow is still on the ground in New Mexico, but the weather has been crazy so idk.

Why sunrise and not sunset?

> Both when hiking in and out (+9 miles each way, plus an unfathomable amount of vertical terrain) we were LAPPED by these ultra marathoners rim to rim to rimming the damn thing.

Did about 18 miles in the canyon a bit over a year ago (South Kaibab down to the tip-off, across Tonto trail then back up Bright Angel). There was a group of guys on our shuttle bus that morning doing R2R2R, but fast hiking it. I don’t understand that thought process though because nearly all the return trip would be after dark so you’d miss all the scenery.

If I was ever going to do that, I’d make arrangements to stay overnight at the north rim. Go south to north one day, stay overnight in the lodge, north back to south the next day.

Imagine thinking snowboarders can’t ride backcountry or handle deep powder

Being from the East Coast I guess I just wasn't expecting to see snow in the grandcanyon so when we arrived and this is what I saw I was amazed. What a wonderful sight, glad I could capture it.

It really is a great canyon

Another extraordinarily gorgeous photo that needs to be put on canvas and displayed on the wall!

That looks like where White walkers live. 🥶

Amazing landscape image! Stunning view.

or was it [Red bull] Ultra natural?

Those trees are nightmare fuel

Ugh I really felt that. Took me like 15 minutes to dig myself out of powder the other day.
