Most people will tell you not to hike the Grand Canyon in July.
They’re not wrong.
In this Story Pop episode, I take you inside the day I dropped into the canyon at the peak of summer heat — a Rim‑to‑River‑to‑Rim push that became far more intense, humbling, and transformative than I ever expected. This isn’t a guide. This isn’t advice. This is a lived experience: the heat, the mistakes, the pacing battles, the water strategy, the moments of doubt, and the exact decisions that kept the day safe when the canyon turned the temperature up to brutal.
If you’ve ever wondered what it really feels like to take on the Grand Canyon in the hottest month of the year — or why that day became the origin story for the Blisterpop planning system — this episode pulls you straight into the heart of it.
A story about heat, humility, and the canyon that teaches you who you are.
