Bright moonlight illuminates the windy road down “the hill” the midway turn reveals infinite diamond shaped sparkles reflecting on the water’s surface a shock of cold deepens upon approaching the canyons second horseshoe turn the walk down the ramp reveals the power and energy of this wondrous place.

Feet touching sand brings kinetic liveliness to the soul the walk north; a search for connection with the dynamic source swirling winds deliver aliveness to still waking senses the sandstone cliffs; an imagined majestic boundary.

Shuffling out at the water’s edge; firing endorphins match the pristine conditions the paddle out offers lengthened stretches from far reaching fingertips and toes finding nature’s rhythm; as instinct and experience become fully actuated the rise of submarine canyon fueled and directed swells challenge all takers.

Community mindset peaceful, but sleeping bears protect the line up the unspoken agreed upon message to all; Respect – Give it, to Get it exiting the water, refilled with a much-needed life sustaining stoke
the walk back down the beach; allows for an enlightened reflection of belonging.
