The Utah deserts and plateaus and canyons
are not a country of big returns, but a
country of spiritual healing, incomparable
for contemplation, meditation, solitude,
quiet, awe, peace of mind and body. We were
born of wilderness and we respond to it more
than we sometimes realize. We depend upon it
increasingly for relief from the termite life
we have created!

Nick introduced us to the hike known as "Many Pools"
The weather was unusual-and helped to fill some pools that had dried out in the heat of the summer.
We stumbled upon some Indian paraphernalia that had been left behind after some sort of ceremony had been preformed the evening before. Interesting. Wish I could have been a fly on that wall.
The power of wind and rain, water and ice-evident everywhere one looks in our glorious Park.
see....MANY pools!!!!
Sprinkle a little water...on a hot thirsty desert...voila!!!! Flowers!!!
Oh the tenacity of a cedar tree!!! Holding on for dear life!!! Or is that a pinon pine!!?
Hiking the trails with good buddies from around the country....makes life all the better!!!
Lookie that....Im not the only crazy that loves hiking sandals!!!
Pine Creek Canyon....never will see the likes of me!!! Its a safe bet!
Wet, red, coral dust is fine by me!!!
