a day of walks and views of horseshoe bend and Antelope Canyon ends with sunset views over the red rocks from Airport Mesa.
horizon glow
a stirring wind
and silence
Cathedral Rock. An early morning hike yields abundant peace.
strenuous steps
a vast panorama
of red rocks
Chapel of the Holy Cross. A fifty-foot Crucifix. Gregorian Chant, and a sublime silence.

I have been there in that little chapel on the hill. It’s a glorious view after a very steep climb. Majestic in many ways.
