One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friend Danielle and I backpacked the Grand Canon down to the river and back over the course of 4 days. It was my first all girl trip and it was very empowering. I felt that nothing could rival the calm of the Grand Canyon, the roaring river thousands of feet below and the wind rushing up the cliffs.
