Desert canyons being carved with the flow of fresh snow melt.
Waking up to the sun peaking through the tent window
And watching it disappear over the canyon wall at night.
Admiring the stars on a clear night
Sharing the admiration of the desert with a lover and friend.
Sitting, quietly, reflecting on the beauty of the red rocks
Trickling streams, raging rivers, towering canyon walls.
Being humbled by the power of the desert.
