Bikepacking in Dorset UK, sandy beach , cliff edge sleep in moonlight, ride in autumn sunshine, friends company, hammocking, wine, Scotch and a fire.

One sign of intelligence is the ability to recognize patterns: let’s lay out a pattern and see if we can recognize it in less than 10,000 years. When you think of Iraq, do you think of cedar forests so thick that sunlight never touches the ground? That’s how it was prior to the beginnings of this culture. The Near East was a forest. North Africa was a forest. Greece was a forest. All pulled down to support this culture. Forests precede us, while deserts dog our heels. There were so many whales in the Atlantic they were a hazard to ships. There were so many bison on the Great Plains you could watch for four days as a herd thundered by. There were so many salmon in the Pacific Northwest you could hear them coming for hours before they arrived. The evidence is not just “objective,” it’s overwhelming: this culture exsanguinates the world of water, of soil, of species, and of the process of life itself, until all that is left is dust.

“I recently spent a week in el Chaltén, and every day I went out for a long run. I just couldn’t stop running as I didn’t want to leave the mountains. The views were spectacular and ever changing, and since autumn had just arrived, most of the tourists were gone as well. I often found myself giggling and laughing out loud while on the trail out of pure happiness.” #trailrunning #fitzroy

It’s Wednesday here on My Public Lands — which means that it’s Wilderness Wednesday in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act. Today, we share brand new photos from the field of one of our most beautiful wilderness areas.   

Arguably some of the planet’s most unique and spectacular geologic features are the narrow slot canyons of the Colorado Plateau — and the grand-daddy of them all is Buckskin Gulch in the BLM-managed Paria Canyon-Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness/National Monument.  Straddling the Utah/Arizona border, this 13 mile long canyon is 400 feet deep and sometimes as narrow as six feet — not just at the bottom but all the way up to the canyon rims (thus the name “slot”).  In places you can’t see the sky when looking up; only the sun’s indirect glow bouncing off the scalloped rock walls & creating an ever-changing colorful tapestry. Logs wedged between the narrow walls 20-30 feet above the stream-bed are a reminder to avoid the area during the summer monsoon, when flash floods combined with no escape routes make the canyon unsafe for hiking.

When combined with the main stem of the Paria River, this 40 mile hike offers an extended backpack.
