Staff Sgt. Jonathan Siercke assists Chaplain Christopher Melvin as he tends to blisters on his feet during a single day 23.9-mile rim-to-rim hike of the Grand Canyon as part of the Strong Bonds program event during National Suicide Prevention Month. As one of the most challenging day hikes in the country, the Grand Canyon’s rim-to-rim hike is commonly compared to climbing Mt. Whitney in California, the highest peak in the lower 48 states, which is a 21.6-mile, 6,000-foot climb undertaking. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. Wesley Parrell)
