Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.

I don't believe that anyone can see the Grand Canyon area for themselves and not know that we have to do everything we can to protect it for future generations.
It's not at all naturally human to see something like the Grand Canyon as beautiful.
The books I read, if they intrude on my writing, do so as weather will pass through and touch a landscape - affecting it, yes, but only now and then leaving a permanent mark.
The landscapes were in my arms as I did it.
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.
Remember, the storm is a good opportunity for the pine and the cypress to show their strength and their stability.
I was accustomed to being in far, far riskier environments. So I thought going into that canyon was a walk in the park - there were no avalanches, it was a beautiful day and I was essentially just walking.
Where I live, there's a lot of canyons. We're climbing constantly - we're like mountain goats. I'm just trying to get better at that.
Life is supposed to be a series of peaks and valleys. The secret is to keep the valleys from becoming Grand Canyons.
Every season has its peaks and valleys. What you have to try to do is eliminate the Grand Canyon.
