Hiking Arizona with "One of the Five"
I often say that, outside of my family, I can count on one hand the number of friends for whom I would take a bullet. I recently had the opportunity to spend an extended weekend with "one of the five," my friend Merry. This also meant I got to finally meet her husband and their daughter - both very cool people. And every single minute was amazing.

Took off early to the Grand Canyon the first day. Did a half-day hike. This is the beginning of our descent. |

Viv wanted to pose with these flowers i was photographing |
Rain squall. We drove to Camp Verde to do up the waterfall but it was too crowded and the rangers closed the road to keep it clear for emergencies. Switched gears and went to Black Canyon Trail. |
Black Canyon Trail - it was 2:30 when we arrived and there were zero other cars in the parking lot because it was about 105 degrees. |

Black Canyon Trail - a pretty strenuous hike due to the heat, but this is the reward - cold, clear swimming holes. |
