raspadoo Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) So my 14 yr old daughter an I decide to leave So Cal @ 9:30pm Fri, arrive @ the Grand Canyon in time to catch a 5am shuttle to the Kaibib trail, head head down to the river along it a while and back up the Bright Angel Trail. I'm guessing only 16mi or so but WAY steep. Got back up to the top and drove home Next day took my 12 year old son riding @ El Mirage only because I told him I would, you talk about sore, I'm So thankful for the red button on the KTM300XC....

dunefreak Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Wow! That's awesome. Sounds like a good hike right there. Good times. Thanks for sharing, Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakster884 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 That place is awesome. You have to see in person to really have a feel for how big that place is. Must of been a very tiresome trip but for the kids its always worth it. I also make an effort to do what I tell my kids We will do. Great job DAD! I am 30 Miles from El Mirage not much to do there but if it keeps the kids happy why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspadoo Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 That hike was Brutal, as we were going down I thought for sure we were going to have to find a rock to sleep under on the way out My daughter never complained once, even gapped me by a few yards on the way up once or twice if the truth be told. Very proud of her, thanks for the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
