Rereading Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire I have come to appreciate and understand this harsh environment and land sculpted by water and wind. I can't imagine being here in the summer; as it is, daytime temperatures now are pleasant though with huge variations - 88 deg. in the sun, 68 deg. in the shade. I camp for two nights at Island in the Sky, with sweeping vistas to the canyon floor, the Colorado and Green Rivers, and the Henry Mountains in the distance.

| Imagine traveling this thread of a dirt road! |
 |
| Mesa Arch |
 |
| A small oasis of green |
 |
| Canyon wrens sang in the pinyon pines |
 |
| Ravens performing their aerial acrobatics |
 |
| Light changes everything here |
 |
| Sunrise adds layers of color |
