I want to set the record straight. This was Clint's idea. When the weather forecast kept changing, I knew we were in for a classic type 2 Grand Canyon trip.
Clint was undeterred. You see, the weather forecast changes all the time, especially here. That means it can change for the worse OR for the better. Clint was sure it was going to turn out for the better. So Clint, Devin, TJ and myself headed in with our fingers crossed.
Turns out, positivity is not a meteorologic force. The Grand Canyon cranked it all up to 11 and gave us nearly the full show. High winds, cold temps, snow, rain, it just threw stuff at us and didn't stop.
We were prepared, but that doesn't mean it wasn't hard. It was very hard. But then again, that's the Grand Canyon. The highs are incredible, but you pay for them.
Also, this was all Clint's fault.
This is a video about backpacking the Escalante Route in really crazy weather over four days. (Just had to write a coherent sentence for YT so they can figure out what this video is about. Backpacking the Grand Canyon, YT. It's about that.)
