A Grand Hike



Sharon along with five other friends is now in Arizona preparing for their round-trip hike of the Grand Canyon tomorrow! They plan to go down on the South Kaibab Trail and return on the Bright Angel Trail. The inner gorge reaches temperatures over 100 degrees making the hike more difficult.

They plan to get started at 5:00 AM in order to beat the heat and to watch the sun rise over the canyon. They hope to make the 16 mile hike in eight hours.

I'm sure that Sharon and her fellow travelers will return with many photos and stories of adventure. But more importantly, their journey to Arizona has forged new friendships and demonstrated the power of a shared dream. Tomorrow is the day - the day of the Grand Hike!
