Grand Canyon: Rim to Rim To Rim (to hospital)

My Rim to Rim to Rim hike was cut short after a gorgeous 24.2 miles. Turning around saved my life. I had Rhabdomyolysis, though I wouldn't know it until after an 80 mile ambulance ride from the North Rim, and a stay at the Kane County Hospital in Kanab, UT.

Come along with me for the journey! And, my sincere thanks and gratitude to all the good people who helped me along the way!
