This is where I hope to be today for Wilderness Wednesday. Eagle's Crag, in Rockville, UT, just south of the Zion National Park entrance. It's a short hike, only 5 miles round trip, but I wanted to acclimate to the altitude with something short in a beautiful place.
See, I'm headed to Utah today via Las Vegas to do some hiking, see some friends, and recharge my batteries.
New York City can be depleting. I have wonderful friends here. There are beautiful parks. But you know what I can't find in New York City? Solitude. Alone-ness. Quiet.
I'm a Gemini with monkey mind and a somewhat insatiably curious nature, so it helps me to take myself hiking and quite literally, like a small child, wear myself out.

Pack for very warm weather. It's supposed to be over 90 degrees here this weekend.
Oh, no. I'm totally missing you. If I were in Utah I would drive down and crash your hiking party of one (just for half a day), so it's probably best I'm not around.
I hope you have much rest and soak up all the energy you can from the red rock - take it home and save it for a rainy day.
Ah, man! Are you going to be up North? I'll be there Friday and Saturday.
Oh duh, you said "if I were in Utah..." I will catch you next time!
