Gentle Tenacity

Mukuntuweap, Zion Canyon, Zion National Park, Utah, United States of America

I remind myself
Even the gentlest creeks
Carve canyons from bedrock
With the aid of time and tenacity

  One of the great canyons of the American Southwest. Where there are so many spectacular valleys.

As beautiful as this aspect is, the
view from Angel’s Landing is, well, absolutely divine. And it comes at the end of a spectacular (somewhat daunting) hike up Willy’s Wiggles (a steep series of switchbacks) followed by a narrow, even steeper, chained final ascent with vertical thousand foot fallaways on either side.

Arguably, the most rewarding hike ever. But book tickets well in advance and plan for all kinds of weather, even if it’s sunny and warm the morning of your hike. The temperature differential between base and summit can be extreme.
