Doing something difficult together, gives us that shared pain … and something to reminisce about until we do the next one. Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim of the Grand Canyon, Presidential Traverse in New England, Four Pass Loop in Colorado and the Grand Teton Loop in Wyoming have all been crossed off the list. This year we hit Utah’s Zion National Park and it did not disappoint.
