I am from the mountain west. Thus, being in this area leaves me without the environment that I am accustomed to. The high mountain desert landscape is striking, clean, pure, and picturesque. It is also lethal.
In the words of Edward Abbey:
To those that see our land in that manner, the best reply is, yes, you are right, it is a dangerous and terrible place. Enter at your own risk. Carry water. Avoid the noon day sun. Try to ignore the vultures. Pray frequently.
I think this applies to open spaces everywhere.
Ignore them at your own risk.
