Loowit trail as it descends from the uplands into the blast zone.
To live in the pacific northwest is to be aware of the cataclysmic forces that shaped our landscape. We are surrounded by the evidence in towering volcanoes, basalt cliffs, cinder cones, lava fields, and the coulees and gorges carved by the Missoula floods.
When I visit these places the veneer of civilization is peeled back, I see the depth of power in the earth, and feel awe, wonder, and a sense of my place in time and space. I am a momentary spark in the vast story of the world.

Well said. Indeed, we are just trivial specks on this planet and in this universe. So hard to imagine the geological time scales and forces. -

@intrepidhero And in similar fashion I have seen and will see time and time and time again, including
- The scrape marks and sharp edges of long gone glaciers in the Pyrenees or north-west Wales.
- The geological history in the oldest canyon in the world in Namibia.We are but moments in a vast timeline.
