Companion forum thread to: Grand Canyon Grandview Trail on guided hike
I participated on a guided hike recently on the Grandview Trail in Grand Canyon…
May 22, 2023 at 6:47 pm #3781672Wow! Awesome trip for sure! Very cool that you got to do this.
May 23, 2023 at 7:24 am #3781704Lovely photos. Would love to hear more about the hike!
May 23, 2023 at 9:24 am #3781711Nice pictures! Brings back good memories of a 3 day 2 night the wife and I spent on the mesa exploring. There was only one other couple there so we practically had it all to ourselves. To top it off we had a full moon and the wife swears she saw the ghost of a native American on her midnight pee- she woke me in a panic and had me up with my headlamp searching.
May 24, 2023 at 9:29 am #3781779Pretty sure you can’t see ghosts with a headlamp. So the research shows.
Seriously, the desert is a bit haunting, but in a kind of reassuring way, if that makes any sense. I’m a complete atheist and total nonbeliever in anything supernatural; I like evidence. But you never feel alone in the desert, or the woods. I feel incredibly alone on tundra, unmoored and desperate. Different landscapes affect us differently, I guess.
I loved seeing the stars through my tent mesh or during a bathroom break at night. And camping near water, so much life there! If I were a ghost, it would be a good place to haunt people.

This reports gets me excited as I’ll be moving back to AZ in a couple months. Thanks for sharing.
