10+ years wearing Chacos in the desert adds lots of character to your feet. Photo credit: Regina Pagles

Regina Pagles, a noted local photographer and digital image magician, posted this awesome self-portrait recently. Reggie’s image deftly captures the “Chaco tan,” a frequent sight in Springdale this time of year. By the end of the summer, this look is dominant amongst the desert crowd, as months of sun and dust have conspired to brown those exposed areas our sandals don’t protect.
