Grand Canyon and the Wild West
Canadian Girl Guides Charter


Twelve Girl Guides and 8 of their moms joined us for a Grand Canyon and the Wild West tour May 17-24th, 2008. We explored Zion, Bryce, Arches and Grand Canyon National Parks. (Became Jr. Rangers at Bryce and Arches!) Rafted on the Colorado River (despite wind and rain). Camped in a wind and sand storm at Monument Valley and experienced Moab's backcountry on an off-roading Unimog tour.  We hiked, sang around the campfire, toasted marshmallows and hotdogs, cooked chili and campfire stew, swam, got blisters, took a ton photos, shopped, and had a whole lot of fun!
Thanks ladies for spending 4 years fund raising for this trip! We had a blast.
