A "Hero's Journey" in the San Rafael Swell for 10/10/10
Our journey begins on a short three-night adventure with a group of high school students from East High, Salt Lake City. We will be embarking on a journey together and discovering the power found in each one of us to find solutions to the ecological inequities that we see in our communities. Who knew that a journey of this type would start in the San Rafael Swell?
Our crew, like the 350 movement, represents several nationalities--eight, in fact: American, Bosnian, Burundi, Karen (the mountain people of Burma), Mexican, Peruvian, Somalian, Thai.

Hiking Through Desolation
We will hike from Sand Wash to Green River, UT: Twelve days down the Green River through the canyon that Powell considered "a region of wildest desolation."
A Radio Show and a Parade of Horribles in Moab
Sara Melnicoff, of Moab Solutions, and Erin Olschewski, the president of Grand County High School's Earth Club combat the demons of excess consumption and trash in their daily lives. This year, they're taking to the streets. Drawing on the long tradition of Halloween as a day for costumes and masks to drive out evil spirits, they are kicking of Halloween by asking people to join them on a walk through Moab dressed as the evil threats to our earth—a literal and figurative parade of horribles.
So, pull out your greatest representation of an eco-threat and join us to walk with the Grand County Earth Club’s parade of horribles. We will meet at Swanny Park at 4:00 PM on October 31.
We will also join Christy Williams on Free Speech Friday, a KZMU radio show. It is their Fall Fund Drive, so don't forget to support community radio!
Salt Creek to Dark Canyon
We have Steve Allen, the canyoneering guru, to thank for this section of the journey. He has written the book (literally) on enjoying canyons in Utah. Check out Canyoneering and Canyoneering 2 if you're thinking of designing an adventure.
Steve designed this section of the journey, promising that we would "enjoy the heck out of it" while we traveled through the "premier canyon in all of canyondom."
Grand Gulch
We infuse our walk with the wisdom of the ages on this final section of the journey.
Recapture Lodge in Bluff
We will end our journey in Bluff, enjoying the hospitality and the group of friends pulled together by Jim Hooks, the owner of Recapture Lodge. It will be an evening of reflection, and motivation for how to undertake the more serious and arduous journey toward getting effective legislation passed that will address climate change.
Celebrating the end and the beginning of the journey with our friends and our community
"A Pilgrimage for Hope and Earthanima "
Come enjoy a celebration of the end of our walk and the beginning of our journey to addressing climate change in our own community. We will show a quick slide show of our journey, raise our voices to join the Million Letter March, and enjoy the beauty of our living earth through the talent and art of Thomas Arthur and his show "The Earthanima Project."

We will be at the Main Salt Lake Public Library from 7-9. Please join us!
