This is not the scenic part of the Colorado Plateau. This is not the Grand Canyon. This is not any of the parts of the Plateau celebrated in song and story. This is the Colorado Plateau that I have known for nearly all of the my life (Since I am not dead, it hasn't been my whole life yet). This is the part of the Plateau that is ruled by extremes and one of those is the wind. We have seen winds over 100 mph tear down a reinforced shed, although high winds are not too common. The wind blows so much, that when it stops, it feels like something is wrong.
The trees, mainly junipers, are rounded and so strong they seldom bow to the wind. There is nothing to stop the wind.
