Published: July 4, 2025
Duration: 7:12
Not every Grand Canyon tale is about survival. Some are about knowing when not to push. In this episode of Tales From Below, Dave Skierkowski and his seasoned hiking crew swap ambition for wisdom—canceling a planned double-crossing in favor of a single, dialed-in Rim-to-Rim. Through early starts, smart pacing, and well-timed cooling breaks, they conquered the heat of a brutal May day without incident. Their story is a quiet masterclass in preparation, humility, and the power of making the right call before trouble begins.
