Despite all the warning signs, Melissa and I made it out of the Grand Canyon alive. It was amazing! I'm not sure how else to describe it. It was definitely one of the coolest things I've ever done and I might even consider doing it again. The first day downhill was harder than I expected and the hike out was slightly easier than expected, although full of never-ending switchbacks.
I have a new appreciation for how incredible the earth is. From the top of the canyon you can't even see the bottom so it was cool to be down there. It's very lush in places considering that it's the desert. We started in a forest on the North Rim, descended into a desert, walked along a lush creek and ascended back into the desert on the South Rim. We had lots of great adventures and it was nice to get away from the real world.

For now, I'll post a select few of my favorites here. You can also see them on Facebook.
