06 October 2012 - The Narrows, Zion

What can I say? Go here now! Go here while you still can!
Walk the narrows before the clock turns twelve. We awoke in the darkness so as to stay on step ahead of the throng of people that visit this site daily. We walked the paved shadowy trail along a river enclosed by massive rock walls. We walked until the paved trail ended in a gaggle of seemingly discarded tennis shoes and a storage of walking sticks. Then we kept on walking with our footprint erased in the sandy ground of the canyon under cold flowing river water. We walked until Dwana “I’m done!” And so then I took Viena and Ezra on individual adventures to see what was around the next bend and the next. My feet became numb, but the addictive scenes upriver were worth the pain. We thawed out on the return when sunshine was finally found. Our adventure complete as others were just beginning theirs.
