The skinny waitress at the Cedar Pass Lodge
Recommended hiking the Notch Trail
Which started out as they all do
With “Beware Rattlesnakes” signs
At the edge of the parking lot
But soon the terrain changed
And we were clinging to the edges
Of eroding cliffs and climbing log ladders
Through outcrops of jagged rock
Finally reaching a canyon of uplifted ancient sea beds
Carved into hoodoos a thousand miles from any shore
