Hiking the South Kaibab Trail in the Grand Canyon during February offers a unique experience that combines breathtaking views with the quiet calm of winter. I recently took on this adventure, and it was unlike any other hike I’ve done before. The cooler temperatures, the crisp air, and the stunning landscape all made for a memorable journey. Here’s a detailed account of my hike, including what I learned and tips for anyone considering this trail in winter.

During Christmastime last year we spent two weeks exploring the Canadian Rockies at Christmastime and Vancouver for New Years. Between weekends and days off for the holidays, I managed to go this entire trip with only taking a couple days off of work. I spent much of my working hours in the passenger seat of the car while Justin drove us from beautiful location to beautiful location.
