Mission Accomplished!Adam and I just completed the ONE task that my dad INSISTED we do before we come home: hike and camp out at the Grand Canyon! Although the one day-one night trip was short, we had a wonderful time. We visited the South Rim and hiked the Kaibab Trail (a 6 mile hike) to "Skeleton Point." We were humbled by the view (boy, did we feel small looking at at that canyon), captured by its beauty (God sure is creative), and enjoyed every minute of the hiking-camping experience!
Below are some favorite pictures from the trip. It was a wonderful way to end our time here in the West! We leave for back east on Thursday and expect to arrive in PA around August 13th or 14th.
A GORGEOUS VIEW of the South Rim at the start of our hike!
Stopping for a quick view while hiking! AMAZING!
Adam taking a break inside one of the canyon rocks!
When we reached Skeleton Point, we got a glimpse of the Colorado River. I was so surprised that it wasn't blue! False expectations? Oh well, blue or brown, we saw it!
Stopping for a picture pose on the hike back up!We definitely took advantage of those camel backs!
Our "hobo" meals! We cooked chicken and veggies in tinfoil over the fire!
Checking out the South Rim right before sunset. A perfect ending to a breath-taking day.
