We didn't get enough of this place 5 weeks ago so we decided to go back! This trip back to the canyon was about some "unfinished business". While we hiked rim to rim 5 weeks ago, Aaron was going to hike from the north rim to the south rim back to the north. (42 miles of insanity that I in no way, shape or form want to experience) He didn't get enough sleep last time and didn't finish. My sister-in-law Ricci called him 2 days after our hike and said, "Let's go back next month and do rim to rim to rim!"
I dropped them off on the south side at 4 am and they made it back out at 9 pm. 17 hours! Just plain awesome!
While they were hiking, the kids and I did the tourist stuff
we saw lots of elk...
Can you see that patch of green trees? That's Phantom Ranch at the bottom

We were walking out of our hotel and I'm telling Heston to keep walking and he says, "Um no Mom". I look up and this elk is standing right in front of us!
