sedona

yesterday we hiked to Cathedral rock, and plunged ourselves in the cold refreshing water

us, in our swimsuits, surrounded by people fully clothed and cameras flashing.

we continued up the trail

doing our best to get beyond the beaten path.

out into the river we waded, then perched on a large flat rock as the water rushed passed on all sides

and the sun went down

and the tourists vanished.

our mission today is to find a cool spot that none of the tourists know about.
