I live in Flagstaff and hike the Canyon frequently, and I'm always so happy to hear when people have a great experience there. That's usually the case when they leave themselves time for rest and for enjoying one area for a while, rather than overdoing. Sounds like you did it just right! If you ever get a chance to do a multi-day rim-to-rim trip, I think you'd love that too, with stops at Ribbon Falls and Cottonwood Camp. Late September, early October is a really nice time for that. Anyhow, I enjoyed reading about your trip. Deb Hi,

I have 2 girls, 5 and 3, and look forward to doing the same thing in the future. I did my first solo hike in the GC a year ago this week, and cannot wait to be able to share that experience with the girls some day. Have you been to Olympic National Park yet? I used to work there on the coast, and it will probably be the first place I take the kids when they are old enough to backpack. Cheers to you and to Eleanor! Very inspiring piece!!

I will have to talk to you about where you stopped and camped and all the details. I would love to take my kids some day on an amazing trip like that. My oldest is only 2 but in a few years he will be ready! Man that sounds like you guys had a great trip. I will have to talk to you about where you stopped and camped and all the details.
