I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

What a great recap of your hike. If I was in better shape, I'd do it with you in a heartbeat. :)

I absolutely love that photo of you! It shows your personality so well. The spider web one is also great. I like that new camera.

ME!! Just give me a minute to pack my boots!! Fantastic pictures Gaelyn. I dont know which one I like more but my gaze seems more drawn to the one of South Rim just after the spiderweb one. They are all so good!!

I did not doubt for a minute that you would not make it, we are tough cookies and nothing is beyond us. We will always make it even if a bit slower than the rest. :)

It's something I never did but always wanted to. I'm so out of shape now I doubt that I could! I'm sure it would be a blast with you though!!! Awesome photos, Gaelyn.

Great scenic photos. Really like the spider web, too.
I showed Steve your blog last night and he enjoyed reading all the Grand Canyon entries.

That was quite a hike, you even saw condors, no wonder you look so happy in your photo! Nice spider web. Enjoy camping!

Kathie Brown said...

I am so jealous of that condor sighting! Hurray for you! Someday I hope to make it there myself!

Ruth said...

I just finished your hike! What a climb...you deserve an award. The Condors are huge, but everything there is big;- the land, the cliffs, the sky. Gorgeous pictures!

Quiet Paths said...

Good for you! Super trek and wow, Condors! How many people have seen those? Not many.

I give a thumbs up to people who hike. You guys see the best parts of nature. :-) Just not something I'm up to doing right now.

Great shots!
