Last week I lost the Grand Canyon permit lottery for the twelfth year running, which got me thinking about the great sneaks of Grand Canyon history. Among them was the late Fletcher Anderson’s solo descent in about 1977. The run trip took Anderson about 49 hours, which at the time was the fastest anyone had
Few things compare to seeing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in person on a crisp November morning. Watching massive balloons in the shape of Snoopy, Bluey and Grogu (Baby Yoda) fill the sky overhead as they float down the streets of New York City is an iconic holiday experience on many families' travel wish lists.
