The Grand Canyon is a special place for me. My family lived at the canyon from 1976 to 1981 while my dad worked for the park service. I spent time hiking in and out of the canyon with my friends and rafting the river with my dad, and I remember feeling so connected to its beauty. My husband and I got married at Shoshone Point, and we have taught our two sons about the love of parks. I’m grateful for the National Park Service. I can’t imagine where we’d be without some space saved for peace.
I feel strongly about supporting the Trust. It’s frightening what can happen to these rare landscapes. Once you lose it, you can never get it back. Living at the Grand Canyon instilled that feeling at a young age. These places are impactful.
The Grand Canyon Trust was born out of our love for the Grand Canyon. Since 1985, members like you have invested your hearts and dollars with the Trust to help safeguard it.
