About Us

In May 2015, just days after graduating from high school, the six of us - barely knowing one another - decided to backpack down the Grand Canyon together. Little did we know that the universe was conspiring in our favor: never before did a friend group feel so right. In the midst of our road trip to the grandest of canyons, someone shouted, "Grand Canyon or BUST!" 

And with that, GCOB was born.

"We hiked down the deepest of canyons, climbed up the tallest of mountains, and became best friends along the way..."
