My family and I just climbed the Grand Canyon. Nine miles in and nine miles out, with an elevation change of roughly 5,000 feet. We stayed two nights and a day at Phantom Ranch.   I experienced a great lesson that we have all learned and yet often overlook.

“Never underestimate yourself and the vast, seemingly insurmountable, distances you can quickly cover with the deliberate footsteps of a focused mission.”
