Hiking Rim to Him, you have two options: South-to-North (S-to-N) or North-to-South (N-to-S).

Which route should you choose?

S-to-N
The S-to-N route is considered slightly harder because the North Rim is about 1400 feet higher in elevation compared to the South Rim. On the other hand, much of the climb is in the shade.

N-to-S
The N-to-S route has less “up,” but the downhill can feel steep. Some hikers find downhill harder than uphill, and this route has a faster descent. This route also has a bit more exposure to afternoon sun.

How long is the hike?
The hike is approximately 23.5 miles. The target time is 12-15 hours from start to finish. There are no options for spending the night in the Canyon so you must hike out to the opposite rim.

What’s the trail like?
The trail is a RUGGED wilderness trail maintained by NPS. The trail is rocky in many places, with uneven, muddy, or sandy patches. You will have to step over irregular obstacles up to 18 inches in height in places. 

What’s the weather like?
Temperatures at the start of the hike are around 40°F but have been below freezing some years. Highs in the bottom of the Canyon usually run around 80°F with bright, clear, sunny skies. Highs have been over 100°F in certain parts of the Canyon in unseasonably warm years.

All hikers must own a smartphone or smartwatch for tracking training hikes. You agree to be accountable to our team of experienced training shepherds through the day of the event.

Fundraising
You agree to the fundraising goal. Revelation Wellness reserves the right to withhold your spot if you have not met the fundraising goal by the time you arrive in Phoenix for the hike. If you prefer, you may cover the fundraising amount on your own rather than fundraise.

Training
Revelation Wellness reserves the right to excuse you from participating in this event should you not meet the training requirements. This includes the physical cardio/strength training, the required training hikes, weekly training calls, and regular correspondence from your training shepherd.

Injury
Because of the nature of this event and the Grand Canyon, if you sustain an injury or illness at any time throughout the training period, you must notify your training shepherd. If the injury or illness compromises your safety or the safety of the group Revelation Wellness reserves the right to excuse you from participating on the day of the hike.

Important Medical Advisory
This is not a couch-to-canyon event. Rim to Him should not be used as a one-year goal to go from a sedentary to an active lifestyle.

Rim to Him is for the person who has been cleared by their physician for physical exercise, currently participates in 3-5x a week of physical activity, and is not more than 40 pounds overweight. Each participant will be required to receive a clearance from a medical provider.

The Revelation Wellness Rim to Him training program is proprietary and will be released at the beginning of the training period. Leading up to the 8-week training program all participants must train cardio 3-4x per week and strength 2x per week.

The eight weeks of training hikes will range from 2.4 – 15 miles with time on your feet ranging from 1.5 – 7+ hours. If you don’t live near mountains or hills, you may still train as a “flatlander” using hill-repeats or stadium stairs. (Stair machines and treadmills are not allowed for training hikes).

STORIES FROM OUR HIKERS

The Canyon Transformed My Marriage

An Awesome, Life-Changing Journey

No Room for Pride or Unbelief

The Moments with God Have Been Amazing

I didn’t know I was gone but Rim to Him brought me back to life! It was truly transformational – mind, body, and spirit – not only for me but for the whole community. We started on group coaching calls as individuals and came out of the canyon eight weeks later as a family – and that to me is a picture of the kingdom of God. Beautiful and life-changing.

And yes, you can train for elevation in the Midwest! My friend and I found a local ski slope and owned that hill for hours upon hours and hit every elevation goal. I got myself to every sweaty HIIT and boot camp class I could at the gym, and guess what? We rocked that Canyon wall!
