I can only say that as I hike through the Gila River canyon just how stunningly beautiful and majestic it is. Most of the time I’m looking down to watch my step, but look up and see the towering rock walls soaring skyward.
The day was spent doing a zillion water crossings. Also hiking through rounded stream rocks slows me way down. Like hiking speed bumps. I also tried to get to 20 miles before 6:30 PM. I was just about a mile short. I need to recalibrate, because it’s no fun pushing all day to keep missing my goal.
One of my thrills or challenges was to get by a waterfall.
