Are we there yet?
It is nearly time for the first leg of our first ever trip into the Grand Canyon. We have been preparing for several months now climbing stairs, carrying packs, hiking, and getting used to the heat. The last part has been easy since it has seemed unnaturally hot for a June in Kansas.

Here is a map of the first and fourth legs of the journey. We will descend the South Kaibab and ascend the Bright Angel on the way back. Days 2 and 3 will be spent on the North Kaibab.
