Just a few miles from home, across the state line into Arizona, I find myself scrambling down ledges, precariously balancing on wobbly boulders perched high above the ground below, looking carefully at each step to find a route down to the overhang that displays a magnificent work of art.

On this first day of the year, I quickly hurried on foot as the sun was going down. I felt so excited about the year ahead. I never tried to access this pictograph panel from above before! I wasn’t even sure the route, but I felt a rush of excitement when I looked down and saw familiar trails and I knew I was close.

Saying goodbye to 2020 felt good. I see so many adventures in my future for 2021 — and beyond 🙂
