I had never walked much farther than 14 miles, so I was curious as to how this would go. This left me in the position of retracing my steps 14 miles back to where I began. I had wanted to do a shuttle from Buckskin to White House, but couldn’t be bothered with: planning ahead, or hiking at the pace of others. The upriver Paria takes you to another trail head after 7 miles (White House Trail head), and the downriver Paria will lead you to Lee’s Ferry which would easily be several days of canyon travel on foot.
Those 13 miles of canyon lead you to the confluence of the Paria River, which is more slot canyon, but go in two different directions.
After 1 mile of desert wash hiking you are quickly rewarded with another 13 miles of slot canyon where the canyon is rarely wider than about 15 feet. I guess that’s what I get for hiking 28 miles in a day off the couch.īuckskin Gulch is a popular slot canyon hike about 40 miles from Page, AZ. My feet had hurt with every step for more miles than I could remember. The quick pace I had started the day with was now resembling a staggering limp. When the cars at the Wire Pass Trail head parking lot first came into view, I thought it must have been my mind playing tricks on me. You can see more on my Instagram.Non-slideshow version of photos below Here are some of my favourite installations from this year’s show. Artists are selected based on portfolios, not on proposals and projects are presented by individuals, collectives, and multidisciplinary teams.įrom the curatorial statement, “Come Up To My Room 2020 is an ecology of multiple perspectives and stories where the artists and designers reveal a cosmos: ways of looking within and/or without worlds.” I’ve been attending this event for the past few years and I marvel at the creative ways that spaces are altered from year to year. The majority of the time the artists are on site, so you do get the chance to speak with them about their work.
Artists take over four floors of the hotel and animate the spaces with site specific, immersive art and design installations. The four-day event happens at the same time as Toronto Design Week and the Interior Design Show, making it a good time to visit Toronto if you’re into art and design. Come Up To My Room (CUTMR) at Toronto’s historic Gladstone Hotel is always a January highlight.
