I hate to say it, but this was a really ill-advised trip. Time after time we see stories like this, but people keep making the same bad choices.
I have been to the Canyon a number of times. Spent time down in the Canyon and also in the areas up on the rim. I cannot imagine getting so lost I couldn’t find my way to civilization. This place is pretty simple other than down in some of the side canyons in the lower part of the Canyon.
What would she do in a true wilderness area? Good grief.
