when you enter this space, please consider going with your family and taking your kids—especially if they’re young. You will find that your appreciation of the canyon’s wonders will be expanded, quite radically, by the wonder in your children’s eyes. Their response will leave you not only invigorated and made whole, but touched by a rare kind of fulfillment: the realization that you are instilling memories and values that, with a bit of luck, will help to anchor and inspire your offspring for the remainder of their lives.
