This past September the beautiful monster of the Grand Canyon took my brother in a hiking accident at the age of 43. He had hiked there successfully four times before. This time we waited and waited and waited. He did not return. It took 8 days after he left for his day hike for us to find his body. God&#39;s earth is beautiful. There are so many beautiful luring places to see. We will always ask why. Many will never understand what we have gone through as the family of a missing hiker. I understand your words completely, Frank. Thanks for sharing. Those who are considering hiking the canyon, please respect and fear the Tonto Trail. It is a beautiful monster.<br /><br />Lisa<br />Winchester, VALisa Knicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347107000995359188.post-90487794787751107212009-12-17T11:55:14.221-05:002009-12-17T11:55:14.221-05:00I&#39;ve been thinking about your family as I live near Portland and once again watch this terrible ordeal unfold. Last night the search for the latest climbers has been called off and my heart breaks for the families. For all of us who have lost a loved one our hearts go out to them and to you.Sharinoreply@blogger.com
