You can marvel at rising from dark desert valleys into the sunlit mountains. You can marvel at the beauty of the earth - mighty mountains, towering trees, and whispering wind.
1 Extensive quoting with paraphrasing from Alan Paton’s Cry, the Beloved Country, Chapter 1Īfter rising out of the valley, you can contemplate the vastness of creation upon this wind-swept plateau. Eventually the light of the sun chases away all the darkness of night. The light will come there too, just as it has for millions of years. The sun then reaches part of the valley, leaving part in darkness. The valleys are filled with darkness but the dawn’s light will come, just as it has for millions of years. If you look off the rim before the dawn, you can look down at the darkened valleys. It is upon this cliff you can look down from forests of pine onto the red and gray rocks that are softened by rich greens and browns. Beneath your feet is the Mogollon Rim, a 200 mile wide cliff rising sharply from the desert valleys. About you there are trees and rocks and you may hear the forlorn crying of the red-tailed hawk. The road climbs hundreds of miles into them, to a small mountain city called Payson and from there you look down on one of the fairest valleys of Arizona. These mountains are tree-covered and jagged, and they are lovely beyond any singing of it. There is a lovely road that runs northeast from Mesa, Arizona into the mountains.
