My heart jumped into my throat as I carefully scrambled over the sandstone to safety away from the cliff side and it's very very very long drop down to the bottom. 
Just a few more feet.
A few more feet.
I exhaled, finally able to breathe as I reached firmer ground away from the sketchy pebble strewn edge. 
That had been close.
Far too close.
Why in the world had I agreed to come up here?
For a view? It wasn't---
I turned around to sit, and paused, mouth dropping open at the view of the valley below me.
Oh.
Oh that was beautiful.
