The Grand Canyon Hiker Dude Show

For 33 years, Bruce Aiken and his family called Roaring Springs home—5 miles and 3,500 feet below the North Rim. From maintaining the park’s lifeline water system to creating world-renowned paintings of the Canyon, Bruce’s story is as legendary as the place itself. In this conversation, he reflects on life at the bottom, the devastating Dragon Bravo Fire, and what the future may hold for the North Rim. This is a rare glimpse into the life and perspective of a true Grand Canyon icon.
