We did that drive and met Trisha's parents out there. We hiked to the bottom of the canyon and stayed the night at Phantom Ranch before getting up and hiking out the next day. I wish we'd stayed multiple nights at the bottom, but it was the trip of a lifetime. It's hard to believe that Jim would have the heart attack a little over a year later, considering he did this trip.
