Canyon Echo

By: Carter, Richard

John Carter likes numbers. Miles. Splits. Times. Anything that can be measured, tracked, and improved.

So when a running rival posts fourteen miles, John sees his upcoming trip to Bryce Canyon as the perfect opportunity to answer: twenty-one miles, eight thousand feet above sea level, before breakfast.

Then the morning starts over.

Same parking lot. Same frozen trail. Same strangers. Same conversations.

At first, John treats the impossible repetition like any other problem. He studies it. Tests it. Optimizes it. If there's a system, he'll figure it out.

But Bryce Canyon refuses to cooperate.

As one morning becomes many, the runner who came to the canyon determined to beat a number begins noticing everything he'd been running past-the people on the trail, the extraordinary landscape around him, and parts of his own life that can't be measured at all.

Set among the snow-covered hoodoos and winter trails of Bryce Canyon National Park, Canyon Echo is a funny, warm, and unexpected story about what happens when a man who is always racing toward the next thing is finally forced to stop.

Some mornings won't let you move on until you've actually lived them.
