Boy to Teenager & Rim to Rim
Not more than 1/2 a mile down into The Canyon during our last visit to the North Rim, someone announced an epic adventure idea. I can’t remember who exactly started the idea, but by the time we were 1 mile down on our hike that day, the idea was finalized into a plan. At the rate we were pushing, ticking off one huge hike a weekend in preparation for Mt. Kendall, we knew we would all would be quite fit for something big come October…something really big. And it just so happened that this October was the one that Silas would turn 13. And furthermore, his birthday landed on a weekend, smack dab in the middle of the kids fall break from school, which also happened to be the last weekend that amenities were open on the North Rim. The universe was clearly indicating that this was a primo opportunity. So like I said, it took us only a 1/2 mile of hiking to hatch the idea, and come up with the highly logistical plan to make it happen:
Hike the Grand Canyon, South Rim to North Rim, in a day, for Silas’ 13th birthday.
