Snow at Horseshoe Bend Didn’t Feel Like Magic

I stopped at Horseshoe Bend on the drive home, expecting the usual Instagram rush. Instead, snow covered the cliffs, and the whole place felt emptied out—no crowds, just cold wind and the sound of my boots crunching through ice. I thought I’d feel awe. Mostly, I felt tired. I took a photo, but it didn’t look like the ones online. My hands were numb. I wondered if I was missing something, or if this was just what travel feels like when you’re honest: beautiful, but not always moving. Sometimes it’s just another stop, and that’s okay. #TravelUnfiltered #RealMoments #NotAlwaysEpic #Travel
