They hiked through The Box silently. It was pleasantly cool since the sun wasn’t shining deep into the canyon yet. Birds chirped and the stream gurgled next to the trail.

Dad looked up. There were a few wispy clouds in the sky. “It’s the best time of day to hike,” he said. Dad got out his water and drank. “How far to the first water stop, James?”

“It’s at Cottonwood,” James answered. “I guess around five or six miles.”

“Oops. I better save some then,” Dad said.

After a while, they came upon an area full of large, tall grasses. The trail wove through the grassy area. The trail was muddy in spots, and it even had a few small puddles of water next to it.

“There must be a spring here,” Morgan said.

“I’ll say,” Dad said. “Look at these, guys.”

Morgan and James came over. Dad pointed out several tiny black frogs. They hopped away into the grass. “I guess where there’s water, there’s a home for wildlife,” Dad said.

“I wonder what kind of frogs they are,” Morgan said.

“I bet Mom would know,” James said.

They hiked on.

While walking, Morgan looked up. “There’s the rim we’re going to.”

Towering way above them in the distance was the top of the canyon. It was full of trees.

“That’s a long way up there,” Dad said.

“Hey, look at that bird!” James called out.

Far up in the sky a bird was drifting about. It flew slowly in circles. James got out the binoculars and watched the bird. “It looks like the one we saw yesterday.”
