The photos of the Tenaya Canyon loop trip are loaded. In one of the images here, I am reminded about Ryan asking about the people of the wide gaping mouth. The place of the Yosemite under Chief Tenaya. Here we sprawled our way out along his creekside bank. The father fully aware of the chief’s place here and what happened to his three sons. The son here with me learning more about the wilderness and his place within in it.
So I am reminded about the Ahwahneechee legends of long ago who were the dwellers of this land who cared for it. Yet still oblivious of their significance. Once we returned to our home, grey skies, and asphalt, Ryan summarily asked when are going back.
