Michelle Delloso founded the Rim to Rim Club immediately after emerging from her first Rim to Rim hike of the Grand Canyon, 10 years ago.  Since then, Michelle has been an enthusiastic and unwavering hiker, trail angel, and ally for countless others on their journey.  The club's website, www.rimtorim.org, has been our go-to source of information in preparation for our hike.

In Part 1 of our conversation, Michelle tells the story behind her first Rim to Rim and how the club came to be, and shares with us her philosophy in business and in life.
