With brutal elevation gains and losses, this hike is humbling, to say the least. Fortunately, the views and the ice cold springs within the canyon make every step of the hike worthwhile. Join me as I hike from the North Rim to Ribbon Falls and camp at Cottonwood Campground for one of the most epic overnighters of my life. There is no joy without some pain.
