Casting Your Troubles into the Grand Canyon

Summary

Is the Grand Canyon big enough to handle all of your worries? I wanted to know that answer, so I walked to the bottom to find out. For years, nature has taught us so many important lessons. The most important may be that we're a part of nature itself. Hiking has a way of bringing us closer to nature. Healing us. Reminding us of what's important and where our priorities are and should be. It makes us feel small, yet a bigger part of the universe around us. In this short memoir, I reflect upon the mental healing that occurred in me through being a part of something much bigger than myself. The trails, the mountains, and the Grand Canyon.
