Grand Canyon NP, South Kaibab Trail (down) SK456D

[TheSololobo]

I went down kalibab 11/18/11 at 1pm and reached the colorado at 5pm stayed for 40 minutes and started my climb back up, then an hour into- my flashlight gave (pitch black) with a snow forcast and low water to worry about. I finally made it out at 11:40 pm with the help of a man that caught up to me at the Ooh aah point around 10pm. Pretty scary and awesome, the climb was grueling and I could bearly walk for the next 2 days. I loved it.

Hallo Andreas, if you mean vertigo, that can be dangerous on any mountain. But if you mean fear of heights (Acrophobia), that depends on how much one can tolerate. For the most part, the trail is steep and only moderately exposed, except at mile marker 3.2 (down), just below Skeleton Point, where there is a short section of drop-offs. Go to Clip #12 of the South Kaibab Trail (down) YouTube Video at my website TrailVista to walk it. Greetings to your dad Rainer and family! Peter W.

Is this doable for anybody who suffers from vertigo?

ya gotta love thems' mules at 1:25 - we rode those long eared critters about 5 years ago - that's the only way to see the canyon - takes all the work out of it - great memories, and besides, we can see what we missed when we had our eyes closed!!! - thanks for posting this Pete

Great video. It really gives a sense of what to expect on the trail. My son and I have done this loop hike twice, most recently last November. This video brought back some of the great memories of our trip.
