Consent cue

Slot canyon tours can feel tight—set a clear opt-out and treat “not for me” as a respected boundary, not a debate.

How it flows (Amanecer íntimo version)

01
Pre-dawn meet-up
Hot cafecito, check límites y expectativas, then drive before first light.
02
Trailhead prep
Restrooms and bottle fill are only at the trailhead—set your baseline there.
03
Walk bajo las estrellas
Slow climb, stop mid-way if the sky is popping.
04
Overlook moment
Blanket near the accessible platform; watch the horizon warm.
05
Sunrise glow
One photo, then linger for quieter angles before crowds hit.
06
Aftercare wind-down
Hot cocoa, voice notes, and a “next stargaze” promise if clouds roll in.

Pivots & backups

Lot full pivot
If the lot closes for capacity, don’t roadside park. Pivot to Page for food, then return at sunrise or later evening.
Wind / sand pivot
Keep it short: one safe overlook moment, then retreat to the car for water + a slower talk.
Vertigo / edge discomfort
Stay on the fenced deck and take photos on 2× zoom. Treat “no closer” as final and respected.
Cloudy stargaze pivot
Move the romance to aftercare: voice notes, hot cocoa, and warmth while you plan the next clear-sky night.
