We were fortunate to hike the narrows because the hike had been closed for months and opened just days before we visited, because the water level has been unusually high for this time of year due to snow melt. The rushing water made a striking difference compared to my previous trip a couple years ago. It just goes to show that even though this is one of the most photographed places in the southwest, you can never photograph it the same way twice. It is always worth it to return 🙂

“Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the height
What was before we see once more
Is our kingdom a distant light

Fiery mountain beneath the moon
The words unspoken, we’ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune

Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live

All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long forgotten gold

We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
In slumbers deep, and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we hold

From long ago when lanterns burned
Until this day our hearts have yearned
Her fate unknown, the Arkenstone
What was stolen must be returned

We must awake and make the day
To find a song for heart and soul

Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the end of it yet
We’ll fight as long as we live

All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain born
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Till we get our long forgotten gold

Far away the Misty Mountain’s cold.”
