A preview of other pics to come:
I spent six days backpacking in the Grand Canyon with my family last week. It was incredible!! We hiked in on the Tanner Trail out of Lipan Point, then followed the Escalante Route along the Colorado River for 3 days. The above was taken the evening of the third day of the trip, from the beach at Escalante Rapids, where we camped that night. We hiked out on the Tonto East Trail, up to Horseshoe Mesa and then on Grandview Trail up to Grandview Point. It was truly the experience of a lifetime, and I'm so glad I got to do it. Thanks Mom and Dad, for all the planning you guys did, and for giving my brother and I what was, hands down, the most amazing family vacation ever!!!
