Now to start planning that family vacation in the great outdoors! The hiking trips outside of the United States will need to be put on hold for a while until foreign travel opens back up. I’ve always wanted to go to British Columbia which is closer than some of the hikes. And I’m not at all sure why I’ve never done the Grand Canyon. I guess that’s why it’s called a bucket list!
