Enlightened Reflections
In 2022, celebrating my sixth decade on this beautiful planet, I was able to mark a few "bucket list items" off the list. The beauty of Paria Canyon in the Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness Area is one I have been wanting to experience for a very long time. Finally, I was able to join a friend on a backpacking trip. It would be an excercise in futillity to try and describe this natural wonder. This image offers a glimpse of the majestic canyon, the stunning colors highlighted by the bounce light reverberating through the canyon, the incredible reflections adding to the already picturesque scenery.
