The countdown is on.
Our next adventure is exactly 4 weeks away. Excitement, apprehension, and anticipation for what is to come overwhelm me. I know, beyond a shadow of doubt, the sights and sounds I will see in 4 weeks will leave me in awe of God’s immensity, his handiwork, and my smallness in lieu of it all.
And I can’t wait.
In a few short weeks, we will find ourselves hiking the South Kaibab, Grandview, and Tonto East trails in the Grand Canyon. Day one consists of hiking all the way down into the belly of the canyon from the south rim. The next two days we will hike along the belly of the Canyon and spend each night overlooking the Colorado River. Our final day we will ascend back up to the south rim. The four day hike is a total of 28 miles.
I have already read that scorpion stings are fairly common and to say I was less than thrilled about this news is the understatement of the year. I am NOT a fan of creepy crawly things. However, I am hopeful that the beauty of the Canyon will overshadow any disdain I have for God’s less appealing creatures.
I would like to ask for your prayers for safe travel and safety as we hike. I can’t wait to share the tales of our adventure with you all when we return.
