wee went to the river and i never have him on a leash cuss he is very obedient and well minded i also learned one thing as he was happy playing with his brother dog he was very playful and he had sours in his feet by the end of the day from the rock's, I'm gonna buy him his hiking boots and first aid kid gotta have it he loved the water and hopefully going to grand cannon soon,and my family looking forward to that.

Here's the specs per my son's trip to GC.....$450 covered the transportation to and from OK - AZ...4 nights, 5 days in the Canyon...2 tour guides, group of 8 students. Any meals before and after the Canyon experience were @ the students' expense. The University provided the tents...students are to provide backpacks, all related gear.

I'm seeing that perhaps this was in fact a good deal!! By the way, he went spring break (March 09). I welcome all comments, even if I need a reality check.

Thanks for the welcome.

I have a bucketlist, like most others after seeing the movie. I am months away from 50 and my last child is almost out of the house (off to college). My oldest son went to the Grand Canyon through a university sponsorship (@ Oklahoma State). It was his graduation gift from his mom and I. It was a bit pricey, if you ask me...$450. I think I can do better. But I need some advice and a starting point on how one goes about planning and executing such a trip. I do plan on going with at least one other person and want to take along my dog, Mac.

I'm all ears......
