    Brian is one of the best voices of The Grand Canyon and always inspires me to push myself. I just finished listening to Episode 84 “The Blueprint“ and I am so inspired and can’t wait to do R2R North Kaibab to the South Rim once the North Rim opens again. The bonus episode: “North Rim Fire Update“ demonstrates Brian’s passion for The Canyon as he and Zeena share their thoughts about the devastating fire. This podcast is for anyone... more

  • Great Podcast if you plan to hike in GC

    I found out about this guy’s podcast from watching his YouTube content about hiking the Grand Canyon. It was helpful while planning the Grand Canyon hiking trip that me and the wife went on. Good content. Made for a more educated journey in Arizona.
