Tyler and Ken hiked the Grand Canyon June 2nd 2012! What an accomplishment! This is Ken's third time and Tyler's first. The most amazing thing about this accomplishment is that they hike it from rim to rim in one day! Unbelievable. Tyler said it was the hardest thing he has ever done physically. I am glad they had this opportunity to do this together. They bonded through miles and miles of hiking, 100+ degree temperatures, beautiful scenery. I am so proud of the two men in my life! They are amazing to me! I love them so much! I thought about them all throughout the day and am so thankful that they returned safely.
They went with some other young men and their parents.
Tyler has really accomplished some amazing things at such a young age. He received his Eagle Scout award at the age of 13 or barely 14 technically, hiked the Grand Canyon at 15 and also got his first job at Iceberg at age 15. He was also accepted into Success Academy this Fall. He will be attending High School and Dixie State College concurrently so when he graduates from High school he should have his associates degree as well. He is so responsible and dedicated. I am really impressed with his drive, determination and desire to succeed. He is really an amazing young man. I am so blessed to be his mother! I love you Tyler!
