My uncle invited me to hike R2R2R with him on the Grand Canyon and our plans were never possible because he tragically and unexpectedly passed away months later after extending the invitation. He was known in our family to be very athletic, running 6-12 miles a day for his entire adult like was just something he did. I heard stories of him hiking R2R2R in a day of the Grand Canyon so receiving an invitation to do it from him felt very special. After his death I decided that I was going to complete his invitation and hike it in his memory. I invited my friend Austin to come along with me and we hiked it in October. While the weather was great, the trail that day was crowded with people. I thought hiking 42 miles with 11,000 feet of elevation gain was not going to be that hard, but I was wrong. I wished I had brought more food and I bonked for the last 12 miles. It was tough going but I am really glad that I did it. I had my uncle in my thoughts the entire hike. He was a good man, and a great example to me. He was the favorite uncle to all of his nieces and nephews. Thanks for watching.
