While preparing for the hike, I bought a simple backpack to use. After loading it with water and walking for 15 minutes, I realized this would not work. Rather than buy a good backpack one of our neighbors was kind enough to let us borrow theirs. It was a great backpack and we treated it well.
At the Grand Canyon, you are supposed to carry out everything that you bring in. We get this and respected the rule. This includes any trash you make also.
However, on the way out, whey you are working hard just to move, you begin to question the rules. Had the backpack been mine, I would have left it at the 1.5 mile marker with a note that said “Free”. At that point, all we wanted to do was to get out of the Grand Canyon. We did not care about our clothes, food, or anything else in the backpack.
