Rainbow, photo by Harold Davis.

When I saw the sun shining newly risen at the top of Vernal Falls, I couldn’t still my wandering feet.

“Onward,” they said to me, “and upwards!”

Where one’s feet go, one’s soul must follow. And so I climbed the Mist Trail, a giant stairway that brought me past the rainbow (and other wonders).

The postscript is that once on top of Vernal Falls, I couldn’t just stay there but must needs climb higher – to the top of Nevada Falls and more wonders.
