With lots of hiking happening lately, I decided to change things up and get out on the water with my packraft and explore the canyons. This was day 10 of my wandering road trip. It's been taking me longer than I expected to edit and roll these road trip videos out, but it's happening.

I didn't have any intentions with this paddling trip other than to get out on the water and spend the day there. I'm glad I didn't plan for more than that or I might have missed what I found. It was simple--and that was the beauty of it--but I found myself really enjoying watching the light and shadows play over the cliff walls and on the water's surface. The movement of the water--which I was a part of--had a way of complimenting the silent stillness of the surrounding desert landscape in a way I never quite figured out, but am happy to keep pondering the answer.
