My ex-fiancee and I got engaged down there while camping at phantom ranch.
Both when hiking in and out (+9 miles each way, plus an unfathomable amount of vertical terrain) we were LAPPED by these ultra marathoners rim to rim to rimming the damn thing.
Literally starting on one side of the canyon, running all the way down and back up the other side to then just turn back around and go down and up again to where they start. Multiple times in a day.
Absolutely unbelievable feats of human endurance.
My wife and I swear next time we hike the canyon we're rafting in. F that noise.
