Our family is training to hike the Grand Canyon in March! We did our first official training hike as a family before the crazy Wisconsin Snow came. We hiked 4 miles wearing our new hiking boots. There was some complaining, but overall, was a win. We hiked to a bridge that was super creepy, the boots were super comfy, and everyone had snacks and drinks along the way. We rewarded the kids by going to lunch afterwards which made everyone happy.
The idea of going to the Grand Canyon all started a few months ago while Regan and I were talking about the fact that we only have 2 1/2 years left with Riley until he graduates from high school. We want to make more memories and have amazing experiences with our family before the kids start leaving our house, so what better way to create amazing memories than to drive an RV from Wisconsin to The Grand Canyon, hike the Grand Canyon and then go to Moab for Spring Break!
We are having the kids each walk a mile on the treadmill every day at a 10 incline to train. Regan is wearing a 50 lb. weight vest to crossfit every day so he can be prepared to hold Winnie on his back in the Kelty backpack! This is going to be an epic adventure for our family!!!
Only 42 days away!!!
