Mission Trail by Jeniffer Lagier

Question A
Yes, the poem has a plot. The narrator is describing her discoveries that she experienced during a hike. She wanted to tell her father that she encountered a secret canyon trial but unfortunately that happen to be the final morning of his life. The narrators father seems to have been bed rest before his death because in the poem it says "I phone to tell you of my adventure describe miles of hidden wilderness you could no longer walk".  I think the narrators father loved nature so after he dies the narrator believes his spirit can live in nature freely.
