Landscape of red rock and hoodoos.
Slot canyons and adventures.
A warm, dry wind blows.
Sun rays shrivel the vegetation.
Adventurers set off.
Water bags strapped to their backs.
Feet marinating in sweaty shoes.
Foreheads glistening.
Ropes set.
Repels and climbs.
Moving along dry riverbeds.
Wading through stagnate puddles.
A scrape here, a cut there.
Wedging through tight places.
Skipping in vast canyons.
Southern Utah-
Earthly heaven.
