Grand Canyon
We apologize for our constant "behindness" in this blog. This post is about our experience at the Grand Canyon. I also apologize that my posts are not as poetic and descriptive as Taylor's. I'm a more matter-of-fact, lets get to the point kind of writer. But I enjoy reading his posts much more than my own! Back to the Grand Canyon, we originally had planned to hike down to the bottom, camp there for two nights, and then hike back up. However, at the last minute, we decided we shouldn't do it. We were just unsure if we were in enough shape to do it, or whether it would be smart with the heat and everything. I'm actually glad we did not do it. While hiking in Zion, I carried a Camelback on my back full of a gallon of water as well as my lunch. The weight on my back while hiking tough hills was enough to wear me out every hill we went up. We had to continually stop so I could catch my breath. I started thinking about what it would be like to hike down with a much heavier pack that is holding clothes, food, a sleeping bag, AND water. Plus add heat and miles of hiking. Overall, we just decided it wouldn't be the best idea. Instead, we did a day hike down the canyon for awhile and then back up. It was beautiful, fun, and the perfect amount of time. I loved the Canyon. It's so nice to finally say I've seen it! While we were there, we also went to a short IMAX movie about the Canyon. Enjoy the pictures!
