Desert Philosophizing: Ruminations from the Burr Trail

By David Dye

Take a journey with us along the ancient pathway of the Anasazi and Fremont Indians. Known as the Burr Trail, it now lies within the boundaries of the Grand Staircase / Escalante National Monument. But, before the pavement, before the monument, before the pioneers, there were the Ancients. And the Ancient Ancients.They are gone, but their spirit is not. And over the course of two days in 2018, the author and three of his son made their own pilgrimage along the Burr Trail. This book recounts their journey, along with the philosophical wanderings of the author, prompted by the experiences, as well as the spirit, of the area.In a series of connected essays, the trip is remembered and recounted as a sort of an existential travelogue.Meant to be a fun read, this is also meant to encourage others to reconnect with nature more often, in a more sacred manner.
