One last look inside the Colorado plateau as I clean up the gear from the trip.

Rangers: There are chest deep pools in there. Me, a Floridian:

Into the "wide" part of the canyon.

Picture 12/50 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Scenic Trails Act: Odd Spots: Not every step is a mountain top, sometimes you have to cross desert valleys that stretch for miles without water. This one is different though, it has water, you can hear it as you walk, enough for a city, but every drop is stuck in a giant metal tube that drains the riches of the Sierra snowmelt to satiate the thirst of Los Angeles, a city built where no city should be. I think the trail has been relocated now. It no longer follows the aquaduct across the Mojave, but I don't regret the walk across. It taught me what it is to feel my lips cracking from the heat and my tongue drying in my mouth as enough water for millions flowed by, just out of reach. #pct #pacificcresttrail #trails50 #aquaduct

Picture 11/50 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Scenic Trails Act: As Far As You Can: I didn't make it to the top of Thielsen's jumbled spire. The last rocks were too steep for me that day. But I made it close, and close to the top is a better view than never going at all. #trails50 #pacificcresttrail #pct #thruhiking

Picture 10/50 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Scenic Trails Act: Part of the Wild: Sometimes we forget that we don't come with claws or legs fast enough to keep us safe, we don't have sharp teeth or armored skin. We don't remember that our only edge was between our ears, that banding together was the only thing that kept us safe. But the trail reminds you and when it does you feel all those old senses emerge, feeble and weak, trying to scrape off civilization's dust, because you're alone in the wild where bigger things than you roam free. #trails50 #cdt #continentaldividetrail #hiking #backpacking #evolution #wilderness
