By Thea Gavin

Just returned from a wonderful time hiking rim-to-rim across Grand Canyon . . . and taking a full week to do it! Trip report here: https://theagavin.wordpress.com/2017/10/20/grand-canyon-rim-to-rim-fkt-vs-skt/
Happy Trails!

Nice write-up and pics (despite the limitations of truly portable photography gear). Thanks for sharing!

My Posterity Footprint
I leave my footprint for you to see
the damage that shoes did to me.
My foot is no longer nice and wide
but narrow and cramped in shoes they hide.
No longer are my feet healthy and free
but diseased and sick, they bother me.
Take this as a lesson, so you may too
not be fooled into thinking shoes rule.
This is what society did to me.
I leave my footprint for the world to see. ~me
