...into flinty-eyed people busily despising you for your yellow plaid walking shorts and a T shirt that says SAVE THE WHALES. TRADE THEM FOR VALUABLE PRIZES. The canyon belongs to the world. (I believe there is a separate entrance for Sierra Club members, the Ansel Adams Trail, where they don't need to encounter us and the landscape is black and white...
