Go West! Texas, the Grand Canyon and California Wine Country
Eliza Anti, 31, and Michael Parker, 32, of Hardwick, Vt., near the end of their days-long hiking and camping trip they took with their daughters at the Grand Canyon. The canyon lures millions of people each year with its colorful landscape, immense size, and awe-inspiring geology, but it presents obstacles that can leave even experienced hikers emerging sore and fatigued -- scorching heat during summer months, an altitude of 7,000 feet, and steep, rocky, winding trails.
