“I think that’s why I treasure this place so much. Every time I visit, I can relive that childhood sense of wonder at what might lie over there—whether “over there” refers to a cluster of ruins at the canyon’s edge, or just a mundane pile of rocks in the distance. …a place that’s meant to be explored and investigated, not a place to blandly stroll from interpretative marker to interpretative marker.”
