I have hiked the Colorado trail, rode an electric longboard across the country, aim to paraglide off all CO 14rs. I flew thru corona arch!

I’ve been thru a lot of the south west but I’ve never been to the Grand Canyon! I would love to hike from rim to rim and really get a sense of the massive elevation change and stunning views. As a Colorado native I’ve always been amazed at the distance that river traveled, and the beautiful landscape it has created. If the chance came to raft it that would be sweet! To see the river reach the ocean again would be epic!
What has been your favorite adventure experience?I was 9 the first time I visited the Moab Diner and saw a picture of a plane flying thru an arch as I walked in, I knew I had to do this. I camped out along the Colorado river and woke at 5 am. I then hiked in to Corona Arch by 6 and began the climb up to launch. That may have been the scariest part. I knew I’d rather fly than climb down. The flight was absolutely magical! Right at sunrise, calm air, and a perfect swoop thru the arch to a soft landing.
What would you do with $10,000?I would use it to fuel the van, as well as my self with dehydrated meals while exploring as much of the west as I can. From the redwoods to the Salton Sea, the Grand Canyon to Glacier National Park. But most of all I’d have fun at all the views and mountains along the way!
