Ever since the kids and I went and did puruna weep canyon before Harper left, Gideon has demonstrated himself to be a very strong hik
er.

Since then, Gideon has been on a hiking kick; setting up numerous excursions with his school friends. I joined him and a few friends on overnight hikes through the narrows, up to Kings peak, and then recently to Gideon, Hudson and I summitted the Grand Teton.

Gideon is now a faster hiker than me, even with a full pack, which is remarkable. It's a stark contrast to when he and I summited King's peak only 4 years ago.
