Packing, Packing, Packing

The last couple of nights have been spent packing for our Arizona trip that starts tomorrow. We are so excited to just get away, explore a new area and hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. It is amazing how much extra stuff you have to take when you are camping/backpacking. A tent, 2 sleeping bags, 2 sleeping mats, 2 hiking poles, 2 backpacks, just to name a little of the gear. Did I mention that we each have to carry a gallon of water as well, that is 9 pounds of water!! It is going to be a great adventure!! Happy Trails!!
