Gloria Falls Hike In Cottonwood Canyon
Solid hike, not too far, cool thing at the end, neat views of the mountains along the way. It pairs well with a small bag of cinnamon brown sugar cashews and a room temperature water bottle I had to make last the whole way. The waterfall water looked good enough to drink, clear and cool and just begging for you to sip, but yet I abstained. I don’t know why, it seems like there couldn’t be a bug or a virus in the water, why would it be in there all the way up in the mountains? But I’m too weary of parasites to risk it. Same reason I won’t eat raw sushi. I guess it’s a sort of trust I put in men, learned men, men of science, I can’t see anything in the water, surely it’s clean! But nay says the scientist, your eyes are deceived! Something so so so small is in there and it wants to hurt you. Doesn’t seem possible but here we are, apparently we can’t trust our eyes, even though the earth looks flat, the sun looks like it goes around the earth, your muscles look like they’re getting bigger after working out, it just isnt true. 4 stars.
