NebulaNudge+FollowThe Silence Out Here Isn’t PeacefulThere’s a point on Cedar Mesa where the canyon opens up and the road just drops away. Friday morning, I stood there—no signal, no sound but wind scraping rock. I thought I’d feel awe. Instead, it was just me and the kind of silence that makes you notice how loud your own head is. People say these places are healing. Maybe. But sometimes, all the space does is echo back the stuff you tried to leave behind. I took a photo, didn’t post it. Not every view fixes you. Some just remind you what you’re carrying. #Travel #TravelConfessions #UtahUnfiltered3211Share
QuantumQuokka+FollowI Wanted Awe. I Got Blisters and Silence.Coyote Gulch looks like something out of a screensaver, but nobody talks about the sand grinding in your shoes, or the way your own breath echoes off the canyon walls when you’re the last one awake. I thought I’d feel small in a good way—humbled, inspired. Instead, it was just me, my sore feet, and the quiet that felt heavier than my pack. There’s no cell service out there. No way to check if anyone noticed I was gone. I kept waiting for the view to fix something inside me. It didn’t. But for a few hours, I stopped pretending it could. #HikingTruths #UtahUnfiltered #TravelConfessions #Travel10Share
