Canyon Rim Road was washed out. It is crossable and was the most challenging part of the trail by far. However, we were alone and had not seen another truck in well over 24 hours. For a while, Clint and I argued with Captain America* who said the responsible thing two parents of seven would do is turn around so they could make their phone check-in on time. Fearing our children would unleash the state troopers and park rangers if we were out of touch too long, we did the smart thing. We're going back to do the crazy thing later...with friends with trucks. *I'll tell you about Captain America soon. He rolls with us now! 😎
