Lost on the Rez

LOST ON THE RESERVATION

The only times I've been really lost have been on Indian reservations. The roads are poorly marked if marked at all. Maps are only marginally helpful. I got lost here on my search for Grand Falls east of Flagstaff. It turned out to be dry, but I still wanted to see the place. I had missed the main road and drove all over the reservation until I got on the road that went to the falls. Still this landscape spoke to me. The deep red earth in combination with the approaching thunderstorm was beautiful.

I remember Grand Falls as a kid. You would drive along the flat landscape for several miles and then, WHAM, there is was. A huge gorge with a raging waterfall.
