Earth Walks In Canyon de Chelly 2025 A wonderful journey this May, 2025!  On the way we stopped at the powerful volcanic formation called Shiprock. Our local guides led us on a hike into the canyon and we stopped for lunch at Spider Rock, one of my places of personal reflection.  One of our participants brought his large telescope for a Star Party on the rim of the canyon.  Dine (Navajo) park ranger Justin shared the cultural cosmology of the stars, giving us a wonderful perspective.  He is a runner and does so even in winter, drawing inspiration from the stars–as did we! Our last day was spent with friend Esther and her family at their ranch in Black Rock–and they all truly “rock”!  Our thanks to them and so many others along the way.  Plans are to return Memorial Day 2026–let me know if you would like to join the journey. Happy Trails! Doug Conwell
