8 Jacob Lake to Grand Canyon South Rim

In this part of our 2 month hike in Spring 2022 in Utah, Arizona, we head south on a big section from Jacob Lake into Grand Canyon via Nankoweap trail. This was an amazing hike and we were glad to partner up with Heather from Virginia for the experience....We also have a Hayduke 2022 blog
