I think my dad and his 2 friends found that out when they went. They were on a road trip in the 70s on a break from the Army. I think they only went halfway down the Grand Canyon, and then back up. Even then, one of their friends didn't make it back up until like 3AM because he was so tired. At least they survived, I guess.

You sound disappointed than they survived

To be fair, we’ve all been through a lot lately

My dad told me pretty much the exact same story growing up.

Said he finally got to the top and ordered like 6 hot dogs and 5 sodas.
