Alisha says: What a great Christmas we had this year, it was wonderful! We kicked things off by traveling with Dave's family to the Grand Canyon. Nine of us hiked down the Bright Angel trail for a two night stay in a cabin at Phantom Ranch. The most impressive hiker award goes to my six year old niece Kaylee, who hiked the entire 17 mile round trip. The only time she cried was when we were eating dinner in the canteen and the only option for dinner was the stew, apparently she hates stew. Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed the hot stew dinner after a long day of hiking. I absolutely love the beauty of the canyon and enjoyed spending a few days there. We hiked up the Kiabab trail on Christmas Eve.
The hikers: Parker, Dave, Anne, Reena (Daniel's girlfriend), Kaylee, Daniel, Bailey (Katie's friend), Katie.
Christmas day was spent in Phoenix where everyone enjoyed opening gifts and the awesome sunny weather.
The day after Christmas, Tom took Dave and I hiking in the Superstitions. We did a fun loop that included some route finding. The scenery was beautiful and I enjoyed the uphills while Tom enjoyed the downhills. He hikes so fast going downhill that I was getting dropped. The last thing we did before heading back to Tucson was a stop at the Mesa Temple to check out the light display.
