The Narrows in Zion is the kind of place people post about, but they never mention how your skin prickles from cold river water while the world outside bakes at 105°F. I remember stepping into the canyon, sweat drying instantly, and realizing I couldn't tell if I was freezing or burning. The river numbed my legs. My face flushed from the sun bouncing off the walls. I kept thinking: this is supposed to be fun, right? But all I felt was the ache in my knees and the weird disconnect of being two temperatures at once. No one warns you that beauty can be uncomfortable. Or that you can be surrounded by awe and still just want a sandwich and a nap. #Travel #TravelDiscomfort #NatureUnfiltered
