I enjoyed the breathtaking scenery and the pristine surroundings. I think Desolation Canyon is misnamedit’s beautifulbut perhaps that name is good to keep too many people from "discovering" it. From the wonderful, eyepopping flight over the canyons, the wildlife sightings, the light on the canyon walls (especially early morning and late in the day), to the lovely campsitesit was hard to absorb so much natural beauty. The surroundings helped me to unsnarl my thoughts, relax into serenity, and remember what’s important in life.
