This sunset created a “must stop to appreciate the moment” effect along the Salt River in Alpine on November 13th; our own ability to experience the divine occurs in nature. Preserve and protect our river corridors, beautiful vistas, and wilderness areas; the intricacies and wonder of our great creator are all around us in the smallest and most sensitive of details.
