We both spoke a little and each one engrossed within ourselves as we traversed through the painted valley of Utah and Arizona. We were mesmerized and were introspecting the masterpiece of nature. Many of these canyons are unnamed, not many tourists at sight. As we hiked through the canyon, the cliffs seemed to dance before our eyes, each layer a different hue painted with brilliant bold brushstrokes .The sunlight played with the colors, creating a kaleidoscope of shades.The trail wound through narrow gorges, the walls towering above me like ancient sentinels. The silence was broken only by the distant rustle of leaves and the occasional song of a hidden bird. I felt a deep connection to the land, a sense of peace and awe. All things in life were in oblivion.

As we emerged from the canyon, the vast desert stretched out before us. We were awestruck and no camera on this earth can capture what the two eyes can ever.
