Poem

Hiking the canyon, the trailhead
below, down the stairs we would dread
in a few hours or so.
Beautiful day, sunny and hot,
Lovely tall pines, shady in spots,
Onward, upward we go!

Forty creek crossings, back and forth
cliffs to the south, likewise the north
What a beautiful day!
Walk the rocks, or get the feet wet.
Up and down banks, are we done yet?
Scrambling the sides each way.

Mouth of the canyon, half way there
A pleasant surprise - nice cold air
Ten degree drop or more!
Walls are so steep, all in the shade,
narrowing in, increase in grade,
thinking ‘bout what we wore.

There at the top, reaching the goal
Canyon’s dead end, double-arched bowl
Water seeps from the rock
PB&J, cinnamon bread
Throw in an orange, pretty good spread
Delightful place to stop 

After a rest, letting Viv run
Now it’s time to reverse the fun
Forty creek crossing reps
Legs getting weary, already sore
Seems round the bend, there’s always more,
and don’t forget the steps! 

Huffing and puffing, near crawled out,
Reach the parking lot with a shout
Pleased to have gone so far
Beautiful day out on the trail 
All made it back, hearty and hale,
but thankful for the car
