Rim to rim anyone? Several people I talked to indicated that as beautiful as viewing from the rim is the view from within is something else. They also say that for every hour down plan on three hours up. Another guy said that if it wasn't for his kids he would have sold every piece of gear that he was carrying as he hiked up just to lighten the load. Driving around Arizona reminded me of driving in that area in the 50's in a Buick sedan packed to the gills or of driving through there with a German hitch-hiker in the seventies when we decided that a side trip to the Grand Canyon would be indeed a grand idea; or driving to Prescott Arizona with Emily to check out a school when she was shopping for colleges and then taking a side trip to Jerome to see the vistas. With the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, at his beck and call, Phil takes all this blather as low-lander hysteria.
Coming from the hill country of Texas, it sounds grand.
