Monsoon season is lingering into fall, and we aren’t complaining. 🌧🌈☀️ We were re-reading a few of our favorite lines from southwest author Craig Childs, and this one seemed like a perfect one to share today: “The desert is not dried up and empty as if it might blow away like the seeds of brittle grass. It is the bones of the earth brought to daylight, half stuck out of the ground so that winds and flash floods constantly reveal more. Just as it is beneath our flesh, the bones are the sturdiest, most lasting parts. With their hollowed sockets and deliberate lines, they set a foundation upon which the flesh of forests, mountains, and oceans might accumulate.” - @wandercrag This reminds us that this vast desert is an integral part of the system. It’s the bones of our earth, and what happens here matters in the forests and oceans. ❤️ #kanab #glamping #desertmonsoon #desertrain #rainbow #monsoon #monsoonseason #optoutside #exploremore #grandstaircase
