Ever since my friend Suellen lived in Arizona and hiked into the Grand Canyon for her 25th birthday, I have dreamed of doing this trip. Because I broke both legs on a ski trip with Suellen, she allayed my fears of the risks of this trip by signing us up with University of Wisconsin Stevens Point's Adventure Tours, a group trip led by an M.D. and exercise physiologist who has hiked the canyon successfully numerous times.
As of 7 months before our trip, I could barely walk down a flight of stairs because my left knee hurt so bad. Booking this trip forced me to see the orthopedic surgeon who put my knee back together after the skiing accident 25 years ago. He gave me the green light and my first cortisone shot, which made me feel like I had a new knee and took care of the soreness.
