Wellness Wednesday- 8 Yoga Postures for Backpacking and Hiking
Currently swinging in my hammock beneath some cottonwood trees. Watching silk worms seemingly float from the sky down to the canyon floor.

Let’s just say I was more than a little excited to experience this magical park for the first time and it just so happened to fall on the National Park Services 100th Birthday weekend.
