Four a.m. finds me on the road to a much more remote section of the Park, The Needles. I get there before the sun rises, and so I pull off the road and watch a crow that is watching me while waiting for the landscape to lighten. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/HipstamaticPhoto- 662655703.091786.jpg?resize=640%2C457&ssl=1) Once it does, I head out onto the Slickrock trail. Lonely and cold I was, casting long shadows out onto the desert landscape. The morning light was creating a moody atmosphere, one that I was thoroughly enjoying by myself. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GPTempDownload- 4.jpg?resize=640%2C480&ssl=1) It was invigorating. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/into-the-needles-the-slickrock-trail/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Into%20the%20Needles%20%26%20the%20Slickrock%20trail&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Finto-the-needles-the-slickrock-trail%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/into-the-needles-the-slickrock-trail/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/into-the-needles-the-slickrock-trail/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/into-the-needles-the-slickrock-trail/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/into-the-needles-the-slickrock-trail/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
