The Dyno Cave
Secret Garden Salt Lake City Utah
Fall 2023
In this intriguing photograph, we find my adventurous friend Asher, perched on a boulder in the enchanting Secret Garden bouldering area. What makes this snapshot even more memorable is the presence of Asher's ever-watchful mother, who stands at the base, ready to offer support and ensure his safety. The story behind this particular picture is a blend of hilarity and adventure. It unfolded during an after-school bouldering escapade, and coincidentally, none of us had prior experience at the Secret Garden. As fate would have it, Asher's mom mistakenly parked in Big Cottonwood instead of Little Cottonwood, and thus began a comical mix-up. We found ourselves wandering aimlessly for a good 30 minutes until it finally dawned on us that we were at the wrong location. Despite the unexpected twist in our plans, the memory of that evening is etched in our hearts as we walked home in the dark, laughing and creating lasting memories along the way
