One show only.
Mark, with his hit album The lonely road of awesomeness, plays the Grand Canyon Spring 2010.

The Climbers

Here we are climbing at the Valley of Fire.

The sheer cliff faces that we climbed were well over 7,000 feet. We would have taken on more challenging heights but we did not have our oxygen tanks with us on this trip.

I'm Bad to the Bone!

No comment needed. He's bad. Really really bad.

Grrrrgh.

Look at me! I can fly! I can fly!

Here is Ross balancing precariously on a 2,000 foot ledge. Thank goodness there were safety nets strung up all around him, not.

The Brothers in the Village

Here we are in front of the Mexican restaurant that we ate at the night before hitting the Bright Angel trail into the Canyon.

"Danger" is my middle name

We were labeled the "type that fit the profile of those that need to be rescued from the Canyon" by the Park Ranger... I wonder how they came to that conclusion?

IT Support

Sorry 4 the Technical difficulties

You may have recieved several emails/posts that were the same... Sorry 'bout that. The problem should be resolved and posts resume soon.

The Bellagio

These guys were photoshopped into a background picture of the Grand Canyon. We are actually all at the Bellagio betting away our kid's college funds.

The Grandview

The Grandview Trail is now my favorite trail into the Canyon. It is a technically challenging trail with a great density of spectacular views and interesting features.

Magnificent

Here is my other favorite brother, part way back up the Grandview. I'll let you decide why this post is titled Magnificent ;-)

Been There, Done That

Here's my best brother standing at the rim and behind him is the top quarter mile of the Bright Angel trail we hiked down yesterday.

At the Top

Bottom of the Grand Canyon and back for the promise of an ice cold Corona. And official evidence of Mark's champion status!
