Quotes From the Field:
"Arizona and the Grand Canyon will always have a special place in my heart. It was 1996 when I ran one of my first trips to the area. Now, nearly 14 years later, I'm exited to report that nothing's changed - I'm struck with the same feeling of awe and excitement as I was in '96. When it comes to the Grand Canyon, nothing compares."
