Ben, my brother, looks up in wonder at the 2,500 foot canyon walls surrounding him as he walks through Oak Creek in northern Arizona. My brother and I have always been close, bonding through shared experiences, many of which have been out in the wilderness. As we've grown older and moved away from home, we see each other less and less. But, whenever we do see each other we immediately flock to the important places in nature we grew up going to. This has maintained and fostered a special bond.
