Take a hike

This is a post that really should be written by Dan but that is not going to happen... so, I will do my best and just give you a re-cap on the main event.

Dan and Brian have been talking about and planning this trip to hike the Grand Canyon for months and the day had finally arrived. They were both like little kids. They both had gotten new backpacks for the trip. Dan got a new Ipod (father's day). They were set.

They left Vegas at midnight on Wednesday night and drove all the way to the Grand Canyon and then started down the trail as the sun was rising. They spent the next few days exploring the village and doing a few smaller day hikes up to the falls and the nearby area. Overall they said they accomplished about 30+ miles in the four days they were gone....




They had a great time and besides Brian coming home with terrible blisters (Dan didn't fair too bad).. they loved the adventure and are planning their next trip!
