When I was a single mom, I took my 9-year-old daughter on one of the mule trails down the Grand Canyon. She is in her 20s now and has a son of her own. While holding her 1-year-old son in her arms, she told me one day, “Mom, you have to take Jareth down the Grand Canyon when he’s old enough.”

You know what a big impression the experience left on a 9-year-old when a decade later, she wishes for the same experiences for her children.
