Our trip—like all of the best backpacks into and out of the canyon I had taken before—became a collage of divine moments. A mother desert bighorn sheep crossed the trail with her curious lamb following behind. The makeshift creek that formed from a waterline leak below Mile-and-a-Half Resthouse attracted all manner of birds. She took delicate steps toward our campsite, only to squat and urinate near the edge of it. Ezra took to the cool waters of Garden Creek.
