Aww that was trecheous, but u two tough girl's made it, yes... amazing scenery too..wow, thanks for taking us along... awesome 👍😎

You two are very tough, determined and strong ladies... Great job on this venture....

Living in Suburbia can be a hard cross to bare. Keeping preaching that gospel of nature and live the life you want to live. Woman and Man need wilderness and wildness.

WOW. I'D HAVE TO DO THAT MANY MOONS AGO. KUDOS TO YOU TWO FOR THE JOURNEY AND THE TRAVEL LOG. BEAUTIFUL SCENERY AS OUR CREATOR DOES FANTASTIC WORKS OF ART FOR US TO ENJOY. THANKS AGAIN.

Respect! That was seriously scary climbing. And again beautiful scenery.

The blend of scenery and narrative is spot on...

That footage was awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Amazing! Thank you for posting!

So good to see you again Catherine, it's been a while. Thanks for taking us all along. I've been to the GC but never have I seen so much of it and with two gorgeous ladies to boot!

so happy to see you back with a new trip...in a place that is on my bucket list. You and Christine were on some pretty scary trails...but being the pro you are...it was no problem. Looking forward to your 2019 adventures...who knows I just may run into you this year in the Sierras...take care....and as Roy Rogers used to sing...Happy Trails to you

Sand is the worst! What an incredible hike, Catherine! I'm so looking forward to getting my backpacking kit together this year!

Thank you so much for the awesome video of your hike. I am 74 years old now but I made that hike in April 1973, nearly 50 years ago, with a friend whose goal it was to hike the entire length if three Grand Canyon below the rim

Hello Catherine, it is good to see you and Christine out on the adventure trail once again. What an epic trip. I have never made it to the Grand Canyon so I am really enjoying this adventure. Great footage in this video. The very best to you and Christine for a safe journey. Be safe and have lots of fun. 🤗

Spectacular scenery. I can only dream of having the opportunity to go for a backpacking trip like this.👍👍👍👍

Outstanding! Well done! You are gaining in experience, strength, and confidence. Invaluable on life's journey. I'm proud of you both!

Amazing feat! Congratulations! Thanks! Loved to see the Grand Canyon in a way I’ve never seen it!🌄

What amazing scenery. Thank you for taking us along on this wonderful journey. The photography is really excellent. Thanks again for reminding us of the beauty of this world that negates so much of that ugliness that seems to keep going on and on.

Awesome trip. Thanks for taking us along.

Your positive, soothing voice and the beauty you capture often helps me drift off to sleep... but not this time! Day four had me on the wide eyed and wishing

Both of you are two brave ladies. You had me on the edge of my seat on day four. Thank you so much for the tour of the GC ... your photography in totally fabulous. All of backpacking / hiking videos are wonderful ... look forward to every one!

when i discovered your videos in the truck camper, i was hooked. Now i see this hike of you and your niece. I don't have the right words, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! you ladies have my ultimate admiration. you ladies have shown me a landscape beyond words. you have been where only, only a very select few will ever witness first hand. amazing trail skills. just blew me away. can't say thank you enough!!

Not finished watching but UGH it's is so beautiful. I love the Grand Canyon. You and Christine sure had an awesome late winter adventure

Cat, thanks for the video of an incredible trek! The scenery was stunning! The trail obviously presents some serious challenges. This video made me want to do that trek. Again, thanks! ☺

Bravo, you guy's made it safely. 🙏

Wow, wow... WOW! Major kudos to you Cat and your niece Christine. You are most certainly an inspiration to many. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and appreciate so much the courage and perseverance that ya'll exhibited. Thanks for sharing.

Great video and great attitude during such a tough hike. Both of you did fantastic.

Amazing, ladies you do all us ladies proud. So beautiful as usual. Looking forward to seeing all your back adventures and the new ones ahead. Godspeed and carry on....

One of your best videos! What an adventure!

What a beautiful trip. That scenery is so much more than words can describe. It touches ones heart and soul, doesn’t it?

What an amazingly beautiful place you were in. Sometimes the toughest parts of a hike lend to the best stories and memories. You did an awesome job on those sketchy sections. You should be super proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing your adventure!

Aww luv the sound of water flowing.

Well, Ladies, you broke my heart. I should have been there. FANTASTIC hike. Great video! KUDOS, tough trail. I was trying to decide if I was going back this year, but you have convinced me. The views are gorgeous, only you own eyes can perceive the beauty. And it is the 100th anniversary. Thank you Cat and Christrine!!!

Awesome! Nothing better than hiking, backpacking and camping outdoors. Great video, can't wait to get back to hiking after my injuries. Nice to see the outdoors.

You both must be very proud of yourselves, as you should be. Great job ladies and thanks for sharing.

You have made great strides in the backpacking field. From unsure to sure, congratulations! It is a pleasure to watch the evolution. Keep it up...

That was an awesome adventure!! You two kicked some butt!! Heading over to check out Christine's channel now! Thanks so much for taking us along!

Just amazing! Thanks for sharing. Happy trails.

Wow, you captured the beauty of the Grand Canyon perfectly. Loved it!

Your one lucky lady to be able to do all the things you do. Another good video. Thanks

More amazing footage!!

That definitely looked challenging and also so rewarding!!

Nice to see you all out there again. Very nice scenery. Those canyon walls...Beautiful. Nice video, thanks

WOW!!!! So beautiful, you guys are brave. That looked really hard. Happy you both made it back safe!💖

the meal of spinach noodles, sun dried tomatoes -olive oil and parm cheese looks delicious 😋 what a great alternative to some of the backpacking foods.

wow!.....what a spectacular place.....just so over the top majestic.....beautiful!

What gorgeous videography! Well done. 👍. Great to see Christine again.

Wow! Epic back packing trip Cat and Christine! You both have a deep well of courage, strength and determination! I was at the Grand Canyon last month too but stuck to the Rim. Thanks for sharing the beauty from below. Awesome blossoms!

Well Done! Hike and video. Some of your trail exposure and rock climbing had me holding my breath, even though I knew you lived to tell about it. I kept thinking your niece was going to scream out "what have you gotten me into," but she was a real trooper too. Stay safe.

Cat what an amazing adventure that was, holy cow that was awesome!!! You amaze me with your beautiful videos and I love your narration! Now I went to the GC 3 years ago but I didn’t see what you saw! LOL! I hope you take more time off from work this year so you can go on even more adventures! Thanks again for making the best videos on KZfaq! 😝👍❤️

Wow wow and wow....what a great video....the Canyon ....our holy holy land brought home to us all....Thank you so much for this take...am 72 and pretty much done but not in my mind....brought tears to my eyes twice....ever great.

So nice to see you and your amazing adventure! Great job putting video together. Breathtaking views. Thoroughly enjoyed.

What a fun trip. Did the same but in reverse in 1986. It snowed hard on the rim, and we were not able to follow the Tanner Trail to the rim. Had to backtrack. Grandview was also snowed in, so it was all the way back to the South Kaibab trail. An epic trip! Great memory. Thanks for this... truly enjoyed!

Catherine your a brave lady to do all the things you do. Your the best at making these outdoor videos. Plus it's a pleasure to listen to you speak. Young lady you have lots of talent. # 1

Been down Tanner a few times, you got me wanting to go back !

What a great adventure! Beautiful photography and narration.

Another great video! Thank you so much for taking the time to document this and share it with us. Absolutely love all your videos and hoping one day I'll be able to make it out west to do some hiking of my own.

Awesome job on the vid. It's great to see you back on the trail.

It's great to see how your endurance is improving, definitely some challenging sections encountered. So pleased to see you had a good partner the Grand Canyon is not for the faint of heart that's for sure. I also think you picked a great time of year to hike some months can be dangerously hot and its easy to see how some hikers get into trouble. Glad you enjoyed it and well done your gear selection looked good and your videography was excellent as always.

Great video. I love your descriptions of the challenges. You gals are BEASTS! 4 L of water!!!! Wow. I hope to hike that section one day with my friends and appreciate the intel this video has supplied. Thank you for sharing.

That was quite the Trip! You had to put up with almost all weather conditions as well! You both ROCK!!! Cheers 🍻

Amazing hike Catherine! I was thinking about John when you credited him with the route suggestion! You should have known he would hand you a super challenge. I remember his hike and you got great footage in spite of terrible conditions. So fortunate to have a your niece Christine hiking along with skills also. Sharing the suck helps with morale. I was holding my breath with the boulder scrambling and sheer height of that last cliff. You got more trail cred in one hike than some people get in many. Congratulations.

You ladies are amazing!✨💪✨ I had no idea the Grand Canyon was that challenging!👏👏

About 2 hours ago I just finished climbing out of hance canyon and used Grandview to get out. That section from hance canyon to Grandview was insane. The sun was baking me, thank God for that little mine shaft. Excellent video!

Cat, that there is a awesome video, a great job of capturing its beauty. I've been waiting for this one. Thanks for sharing! You & Christine did a great job. But, now that you have done it I hope you don't feel the need to do it again. Some of that was very dangerous. There were some 'sorry mom'! moments, weren't there. I went from taking in the beauty to biting my nails! But i'm glad you & Christine enjoyed your trip & time together & are safe!

Thank you, Catherine. Great vids!

My heavens! Such an awesome journey you took with your cousin, Catherine! I so admire your dogged determination and tenacity. Wish that all young women and girls could see your videos; they are all so inspiring. Not just for women, but young men as well. Keep safe. jan

Loved it! Great respect! Blessings

Spectacular views. Looking forward to your 2019 videos.

Yikes and holy awesome! No way could I do that with my fear of heights, you gals were sure brave. Those views stunning though! Thanks again for sharing your adventure and looking forward to the next one!

Another amazing backpacking trip ...proud of u ladies !!

Great trip and photography! You picked the perfect time - good temperatures, with no harsh storms or snowfall. Hats off for climbing what was likely more than you expected.

Really loving your productions. I did a part of this route several years ago. It was down New Hance to the rapids, stayed in the creek area below Horseshoe Mesa, stayed on Mesa then hiked out. On the Mesa day, we explored the cave and all of the surrounding historical items. Funny, your friend has more modern cook techniques with the freeze dried meals and the jetboil. I switched to those years ago and love them. Before, I had the same rig you had.

Wow...a some very tough terrain. U guys Nailed it!

Wow what you guys do here makes the rock climbing walls in gyms look like child’s play. What an intense journey. It’s a beautiful part of the earth. I could never do that trail with my bad knees. I can only do trails that I can use my poles to help lift my weight. But one day I’d like to hike the bright angel trail. One day. Thanks for showing us who can do that hike what it looks like in the Grand Canyon. I love the Grand Canyon. Most only get to look at it from a distance. You got up close and personal with it. Thanks for posting

Wow! Great job ladies! Another beautiful video Cat!

Well, i just found your channel and i am very impressed! Do it while you are young. I am 70 on Friday, and i wish i would have done this, it was a different time. i went in the Army, then to Vietnam! they had no internet, Keep it up and you will have joyous memories and video's to show your kids and theirs. You could possibly influence them. ENJOY ! Time goes by quickly !!

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing

Aww beautiful scenery, awesome... careful

Wow you ladies are amazing for doing this trip by yourself. Amazing job and amazing views. Thanks for sharing

Oh my God, you guys did it! Congratulations.

Wow....beautiful scenery and you really showed the intensity of hiking there. Can't imagine that day of hiking in 40 mph wind gusts! Enjoy your videos.

Wow, such an epic journey! Breath-taking scenery and beautifully shot as usual! I've hiked in GC, but never a GC backpacking trip (much to my regret). I have done many other back packing trips in the High Sierra- some of them uncomfortable, some painful and a few that were downright scary. I wouldn't trade any of that for the world! It's trips like that that really puts the mundane day to day routine of work and city life into perspective. Thank you!

Great job,beautiful hike. Thank you

After viewing your 2019 Backpacking Grand Canyon video with Christine. I believe you have a born-in gift of determination. Once your mind is set on completing a task, then the task is going to be completed! I honor and cherish job your decision. I have absolutely total respect for a lady living her dreams ... where memories become more important than things. -Jim

Just watched this today cast on my big screen. I was in the So Cal desert for six days of backpacking, but on Sunday I was thinking of you that you probably posted your trip. The superbloom of flowers and Cacti are amazing. Tell you more later.

An amazing epic trip! Beautiful... I'm going to have to make my way down that way some day soon. You guys are gutsy. It's good to see you together again :)

I was there the same time as you! The snow was slushy in the afternoons but better in the mornings for hiking. Your videos are beautiful.

You get a big fat F for fabulous and you are now officially my new super hero, dang i doubt they could even rescue me with a chopper, thanks for taking me along....lol

Beautiful scenery, challenging hike for sure. Well done!

Such an excellent trek with majestic footage.

stunning, thank you for sharing!

That was an amazing hike. I have been too the Grand Canyon twice. One of my favorite places. I went to the bottom by helicopter and drove a boat on the Colorado river. Would love to have done the hike. Anyway, thank you Catherine for the video. Really enjoyed it.

Awesome job on this one. Tough trip captured very well.

Really my daughter .. you are doing great.God give you much energy.

Excellent trip Cat!I enjoyed the trip...you've come a long ways! :)

Seeing the USA through your eyes. I have said that before and you re-enforced it with this trip. What beautiful scenery and the Grand Canyon is stunning. You did a fantastic job with the views and narration as you always do. Not much of a trail for a lot of your trip and it didn't look like it would take much of a mis-step to get you into trouble. I hope to see a lot more from you this year as I look forward to each video .

The Grand Canyon is so hard and so worth it. I almost passed out from pain on the way down with arthritis and was panicked about getting out, but had no issues, beating my friend by over 2 hours. We used Yak trax for the ice at the rim. I didn't even know what they were before a trip to REI to buy crampons. They were a game changer. We benefited from a last minute cancelation at phantom ranch the week of christmas. I'll never forget it.

Is it just me? I only watched the first 1/4 of the vid (HAD to go to bed), but it seems to me that this vid is a great leap forward both in presentation and video quality. Many of your previous vids I could take em or leave em (just a personal taste), but this one is just beautiful and engaging. Looking forward to finishing it tonight.

The scenery in the Grand Canyon is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this video. I’m also glad to see both you and Christine were able to share this adventure. I hope things get better for both of you when you’re home.

That was impressive ladies. Those vertical rock faces were crazy. I was holding my breath, congrats!
