You can't see anything from a car; you've got to get out of the goddamn contraption and walk, better yet crawl, on hands and knees, over the sandstone and through the thornbrush and cactus. When traces of blood begin to mark your trail, you'll see something, maybe.

>>2845910Sounds like Edward Abbey but it's been a long time since I've read any of his books.
>>2846056Nailed it.
>>2845910Trails exist.
>>2845912My home is the canyon floor, god's basement
>>2845917If you haven't had to crawl on hands and knees, you haven't really explored an area. In canyon country, that means crawling in the sandy wash under willows following bear trails as the only way through dense brush of a riparian area. Or scrambling can be the only way to move on sandstone up or down different rock layers and around pour-offs or through rifts in the rock. In the mountains the same story; you haven't really explored the granite playground of the alpine if you haven't dont class iv scrambling. And all of these things if you do them enough you will eventually cut yourself on some plant or abrade your skin on some rock
>>2846641>canyon country >bearsno
>>2846649Yes there are
>>2846056i recognized it too.
>>2845921A desert? But half the plants are taller than us, the grasses are lush and green, and there are flowers everywhere. And then you look up to a rock wall in the gap between sagebrush and see thousand year old rock art
