A journey into the wilderness is the freest,

cheapest, most non-privileged of pleasures.

-Edward Abbey

for perspective...search for the three little people specks out there in the center of this shot!!!

spring is struggling to come forth!!

The ice and mini snow glaciers are finally gone!! Replacing them is  a fair amount of water in this normally dry or damp wash.  We had a wonderful hike this morning. Birds were singing, the guest were enjoying the sights and sounds as well as the time they have made to spend together on this "active vacation."
I've been hiking a lot lately...
but my camera is on the fritz...
so I have no proof...except for the increased lung capacity and  better endurance.
I decided the last time I took this hike, that this would be the adventure  to take my Young Women on at the end of the month. I call it our little mini Zion experience!!  I think they'll like it!!!
Spring feels like it may be coming quickly now....
things might be in bloom by the end of March!!! Whahooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
