Central Utah. Most scenery tourists go ga-ga over redrock cliffs, canyons, and arches. After all these years, I still enjoy seeing such things and look forward to my October migration through Utah.
But once a 10,000 foot, sheer vertical, fire engine red cliff becomes a standard postcard, it loses its aura of mystique. The human mind yearns for a sense of wonder, and that can only come from being surprised.
Such as vertical arroyo walls in mud:
Yes, I laugh at myself for preferring this kind of scenery. But I can't help it. We will return to this "slot" canyon soon, unsnap the doggie, and enjoy a genuine exploration. Free of the tourist industry.
