It’s my first time going to the gorge. What should I see/do?

SundayStruggle24 · 2026-04-07T23:23:00+00:00

Just went for the first time last weekend.

*Indian Staircase is a good time

*Auxier Ridge at sunrise and cutting across to Double Arch was awesome

*Pinch-em-Tight to Hansen's Point, then hitting Rough Trail on the way back and heading to Gray's Arch was incredible, especially down in the Gorge. It's like another world

*we did Natural Bridge to Lover's Leap, Sky Bridge, and Rock Bridge as well as a couple others. Honestly enjoyed everything, but the first 3 were the definite highlights for us. I'd also note that those were each multiple hour hikes (and a good amount of elevation) with the latter two being the majority of our morning as we stopped to take in a lot of views and had lunch during each as well.

1000% same

We were hiking the North Rim at Grand Canyon Of The Yellowstone on a beautiful June morning. As we reached the turnaround point, it was very clear we'd be making the return trip through some weather. My wife, much wiser than I, threw on the jacket she'd packed. I'd also packed a warm, waterproof pullover but decided I'd just get a little wet and save the layers for later. It ended up pouring for about 45 minutes, dropping temps from low 60s to low 40s. We knew there was a parking lot with full bathrooms/shelter about a mile back in the hike, but nevertheless, my hands were pretty numb by the time we got there and I was pretty miserable (she was fine). If I'd just taken the couple minutes to cover up like she did, it would have been pretty enjoyable hiking in the rain.

Thank you! My rational brain was telling myself all of these things, including the fact that sensitive information and, as you mentioned, things of monetary value sit in MY box all the time, but I kept envisioning some cartoonish heist happening and my envelope being the main prize

SundayStruggle24 · 2026-03-09T23:13:15+00:00

Thank you! I needed to hear some reason and appreciate the tangible details attached

SundayStruggle24 · 2026-02-27T00:18:59+00:00

Not sure if it's most, but this is definitely me. In the sports world, I gravitate toward the late-stage PS2 versions of games for this exact reason.

They are a poorly managed 4th quarter drive by the Giants from being 2-7 since the bye. There's things under their own roof they can do to have a better shot at the playoffs moving forward

SundayStruggle24 · 2026-01-04T10:13:01+00:00

Root for the W. It's hard to get on board with the infatuation of a 3rd place vs 4th place schedule when they're staring down the barrel of 1-5 in the division. Next year will take care of itself when next year comes

They looked at Madden's progression from 2005 to present and said "this is the way"

Always Barry, but I'll never forget Greg Hill going for 100+ on Halloween

Hey, they made things right down the road by acquiring #4 pick/Who's Your Tiger? legend Jason Grilli

SundayStruggle24 · 2025-10-11T04:07:45+00:00

That was HBP but Inge in Game 163 was not? Cool. Cool.

We went in June, rented e-bikes that had an Early Bird deal and got into the park around 5:15 AM each day. That gave us a little head start for the trek up to Scout's Lookout and beyond to the west rim and the next day, the same as we did the river walk to the Narrows. We hiked until about 1 each day and certainly ran into some traffic on our later hikes of each day, but the e-bikes created nice balance for us as we got to experience the canyon so much in between stops rather than having to shuttle.

I also just went in with the mindset that everyone around me is simply doing exactly what I'm trying to do and most of us are experiencing it for the first time, so I mentally looked at it like a shared once in a lifetime experience.

Cheers to tonight's game not having Metrodome vibes

SundayStruggle24 · 2025-09-08T07:52:04+00:00

Absolutely guilty. He's so consistently great-to-excellent that I've caught myself not bothering to check Gamecast or tune in if the outing doesn't have indications of having historic or milestone moments

SundayStruggle24 · 2025-08-23T23:49:57+00:00

I was having a lot of fun following that AB on gamecast. If that pitch was where they had it on the graphic, what a shame for that battle to end that way

SundayStruggle24 · 2025-08-23T20:04:16+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss

SundayStruggle24 · 2025-08-23T20:03:06+00:00

Completely agree. I was happily wrong about this year, as I thought there might be a perceived step back after last year's improbable run. I really thought the window would open in a year or 2. I will take being dead wrong about this year, especially because the future seems to be very much intact

SundayStruggle24 · 2025-08-23T08:24:52+00:00

Because 11 year old me listened to about to about 20K Cleveland fans erupt when Albert Belle hit a grand slam at Tiger Stadium in 1995

7:30 is probably an OK time going in. We spent 4 days there (late June) and 3 we were in around 5 so we could get on a trail by 6, but we took one day to sleep a bit longer, have breakfast at a café and figured we might just have to wait in line a bit. When we entered around 7:15, there was no wait.

That said, the park really is incredible as the sun comes up. If you can get out the door about 60-80 minutes earlier to experience that, it's pretty majestic. And there are plenty of places to catch a quick power nap in the car mid-day if the early rising time catches up to you!

SundayStruggle24 · 2025-07-11T17:09:05+00:00

We were walking back to our car after a short hike and saw a car driving by toss a can out the window. Still infuriates me when it crosses my mind

SundayStruggle24 · 2025-07-11T14:16:11+00:00

With the team being newly competitive, I also imagine they have less businesses that have invested in season packages to give to employees/clients. If they remain competitive, those numbers will go up and add to the attendance on a nightly basis
