Tuckup Canyon. It's a hike to a Natural Bridge in the Grand Canyon with some interesting obstacles 

Describe the most amazing experience you’ve had while traveling:

A Private Rafting of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon for 24 days was the most amazing trip I have been on so far. You're in the middle of nowhere with 22 of your good friends as remote as you can get! This was where I learned (through trial and some really entertaining errors..) how to row a raft

When did you first catch the travel bug?

After my High School Graduation a friend and I drove 26 hours to Key West on our 1st road trip. I started to get the itch for traveling. It hit me even harder after visiting Beijing and Shanghai, China with my Freshman Class in College.
