SURPRISE. Kaibab Plateau at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Traveling by bicycle during the night and day in the middle of the snow storm.
After hundreds of attempts, multiple contusions and bruises 500 feet unicycle run in a beautiful spring morning
Trip report from the 15+ hours bicycle ride at the Kaibab Plateau.
Covering about 65 miles including 40 miles on the forest service roads.
According to the weather forecast for the base camp at the elevation of only about 7000ft, wind chill values during the day were expected to be as low as -5.
Forecast for the higher elevations of this trip wasn’t available.
Starting at 3:42 am.
Soon realizing that the water in the backpack is quickly freezing solid.
Transferring some of the water closer to the body to prevent all of the drinking water from turning into the solid ice.
Starting at night provided additional attraction - beautiful stars shining all over in the very dark sky, just one night after the new moon.
No wildlife encounters on that record low temperatures day.
Perhaps the wildlife was just waiting for the following day to get busy.
Despite that, entire trip was amazing.
Somehow furious nature was allowing itself to be felt even more profoundly.
Views were stunning and always changing specially with the elevation.
Thank you for reading.
