BACKPACKING THE GRAND CANYON! South Kaibab to Bright Angel Trail (our first time!)

Backpacking in the Grand Canyon was a bucket list experience we never thought we would do! In this video, you will see us go on an 18 mile backpacking trip into the Grand Canyon on the South Kaibab Trail to Phantom Ranch, then from Phantom Ranch to Indian Gardens, where we stayed the night, followed by a trek out of the canyon on the Bright Angel Trail. This trip took 2 days and was planned only 10 days before we began! We did absolutely no physical training which was a mistake. We do not recommend doing this without training!

NOT TO MENTION THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME BACKPACKING EVER!

WHO AM I️ WATCHING?
We are Matt and Meghan and we live in a van that we converted ourselves. Our main goal in life is to find freedom! Through our youtube channel, we hope to inspire others to go after what they want! You will see us travel the US and maybe internationally in the future! When we first started dating, vanlife was always on Meghan's mind but Matt wanted to get out of debt before committing. So we made a pact to get out of debt! 2 years later, we paid off $99,000 dollars worth of debt, got engaged and bought a van to start our journey! We would LOVE if you would come along for the ride!
