Jenni's heart races a little after spending more than an hour on cliff edges.
After negotiating an almost vertical trail, the reward of standing in this position is too generous.
What can a person say!
If someone accused us of having a bias toward this hike, this place, we'd plead guilty on the spot. We only discovered Spenser Trail last October and have now completed it for the fourth time. It's a wonder. Relatively short, extremely steep and tricky in places, it's not easy to find a better experience. Add in the fact that the views are magnificent the whole route with additional rewards at the top, it's one in which the hiker feels spoiled. Perhaps the strenuous nature of the hike balances out the reward with effort expended. Each time we have undertaken it, the experience has differed.

Elevation gain, height, color, form, water...
It has a power, a force...
The fissures in the earth are so bold, so overwhelming...one feels insignificant surrounded by such power.
One of two legs of the river sighted from the trail and peak.
and the other leg.
We crossed that bridge when we came to it...Isn't that what we were taught as kids?
Not surprising, close to the border with Utah.

Tower Butte and Page. By car, Page is 45 minutes away but 'by crow', 2 minutes.

Overwhelming no matter where one stands.

That's the wall. Go get 'em, Tiger...only 1,700 feet straight up.
