Down, down, down the road, down the switchback road... Actually, it’s been more of a path all along. Well, the gang’s all here, let’s hit the trail. A switchback is a type of path that follows a zig-zag pattern up or down a steep stretch of terrain such as a hill, canyon, or mountainside. In terms of climbing, it will give you what you want most, a slightly easier trip. Switchbacks are easier than climbing straight up a hill, but you’re still hiking a steep piece of slope. With any switchback, it’s best to take your time and avoid rushing through a zig-zagging section. Watch for trail markers, pace yourself, no shortcuts, and always be on the lookout for uneven terrain. The South Kaibab Trail at Grand Canyon National Park can be a great trail for short trips into the canyon of half a day or less, but the openness of this trail lends itself to extreme heat (was that two hobbits throwing a ring over there?) during the summer months and little to no protection from passing storms. Remember, all trails into the canyon are steep and difficult; consider contacting a park ranger before starting your hike. Image: Not a picture of brisket. A sheer limestone cliff in which six switchbacks have been cut. Several hikers are visible along the trail. #switchback #trail #grandcanyon #greatoutdoors #road #travel

Unsanctioned trails. Those two words combined can cause a firestorm of emotion, debate, and consternation. That’s why I am launching a new series to explore this topic … Why explore this topic? Some argue that unsanctioned trails represent a shady and dubious past from which we’re finally breaking away. For some, there’s a level of shame to talk about what took place “back then.” While that is the origin story of mountain biking, many are quick to push it aside and talk about how or why we’ve moved on. Yet, others are tired of the bureaucracy and tortoise-like pace of building “legal” trails. I told you this is a controversial conversation. However, we need to have these difficult conversations.
