With a high of 116, we waited until late afternoon to head to The Narrows. I did not know what to expect. It was breathtaking, and oh so cool. Our boots and poles were a blessing, making the trip much more enjoyable. It was hard to remember to look up, as the foot work was quite tricky. The picture, above, is what surrounded us. Along with masses of people. Truly, the mass of humanity was like being at a Disney park. Somewhat disappointing, honestly. However, #teacherlifesummer is in full swing so I will take the good with the bad.

It has been an honor and a privilege to travel with Matt. I could not ask for a more kindhearted, generous and funny partner. Y’all know he is a blast! The same holds true west of the Continental Divide!
