There were definitely some trails further down the canyon that we would have loved as well and as you say without a ton of people. We have actually been lucky because it isn't crazy busy here at the moment and even on the most popular trails we didn't feel crowded.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-84389848900857845662016-04-20T14:54:59.135-04:002016-04-20T14:54:59.135-04:00It is amazing here!

It is even more beautiful than we had imagined. It is fantastic seeing it from the rim but even more amazing from the bottom of the canyon.

Jim led ATV tours and I worked in the General Store. Ruby's Inn was started and is owned by the Syrett Family. There were 146 members when we worked there in 2007--I'm sure there are many more added to the family by now. By incorporating into a city, the city becomes eligible for grants and other fundings relieving the family of using personal funds. Becoming a city was a long process.
