The Grand Canyon, is and should be, on every kayaker's hit list and I was no exception. So I was super excited when I was recently given the opportunity to join Jeorgia and the Fischer Family on the Grand to help run kayak support for their trip.
With the help of a motor-boat for support, we did the 226 miles from Lee's Ferry to Diamond Creek in 10 amazing days. There were tons of wonderful moments had in those days and rather than spend the next week writing about them, I figure I'd rather just show them through pictures...
