There's This Canyon

Residing in Arizona most of my life, I live pretty close to Grand Canyon. I hiked it with my family for the first time when I was twelve and fell in love with the place. Over the years I have hiked to Phantom Ranch and the Havasupai village over half a dozen times. The last time I hiked into the Canyon was the month before I got married nine years ago. As a family, we had spent 20 years talking about rafting through the Canyon, but never really looked into it.

Finally enough stuff fell in and out of place that it was time to return to the Canyon for a father daughter trip of a lifetime and gain some much needed perspective.We ran the river together June 7 to June 14, 2009 with 17 other guests and 4 boatmen on two motorized S rigs. This is a blog of our adventure and some of the insight I gained on the trip.
