Back to the Desert
May 04, 2021
Got the crew back together (mostly) for another trip to the desert.
We took it a bit easier than normal, and really spent time enjoying it all. We hiked the canyons, swam in the river, climbed out to the top of the desert and made art camp. I even had time to read three books.
It’s the most beautiful place on Earth.

The green of the cottonwoods against the red canyon walls and blue skies is always mesmerizing
