A Thanksgiving of Wonders

As a surprise I gave Doug tickets to fly to Utah over Thanksgiving. Every year as a tradition his dad and others go on a backpacking trip to the Grand Canyon the day after Thanksgiving. Since we have lived in Tennessee Doug has missed out on the tradition. I decided that Doug is so busy and works so hard always doing things for other people that he never has time to do fun things for himself. This was the perfect opportunity for him to get away. These are a few pictures from his trip. They pretty much hike and make up their own trail down so it is a dangerous. This time they actually found a new route to the bottom of the canyon that is much shorter than the other hikes they have done. He had a great time enjoying one of the greatest wonders of the world!
