Commentary: The Ram

The drive back to Las Vegas was great. This gave us a good opportunity to reflect on the hike.

At one point during the last 1.5 miles, a ram appeared out of nowhere. A few hikers stopped to take a picture. The ram then bolted and ran straight to Connor. Connor was very smart, did not make any quick actions, and the ram ran past.


During the drive, Connor brought up that event. Connor said if the ram had hit him and knocked him back into the Grand Canyon, he would have just laid there and waited for help. He was that tired. I told Connor that if that happened, I would have jumped into the Grand Canyon with him. There was no way that I was going to let him have the easy way out without me.
