In some ways this trip was the climax of the project travel year. Paul was invited by A Christian Ministry in the National Parks to present a brief narrative of his experience in Glacier and describe the Sacred Parks Project to the ACMNP board members at their annual board meeting, held this year in Grand Canyon National Park. Paul focused on "Finding the Extraordinary in the Ordinary (And Vice Versa)" and used the metaphor of the St. Louis Arch as a means for coming together for the common goal of building a bridge to better faithful stewardship of the earth. The trip concluded with an overnight hike with colleagues into the Grand Canyon: down the South Kaibab Trail, across the Colorado River, and back up the Bright Angel Trail to the South Rim.
Park/s Visited: Grand Canyon National Park
Flagship Park: Grand Canyon National Park
Theme/s: "Building Bridges, Part II" "ExtraOrdinary," "The General and the Specific," "Journey Together," and "Blessed Laughter in the Desert"
