There's only one thing I enjoy as much as hiking, and that's writing about hiking.
Please enjoy my latest tale from the trail, along with some of my favorite photos.

"I get to a certain point in tough hikes like this where time stretches out like a big piece of melting taffy. The end seems nowhere in sight. The climbing never ends. The negative thoughts find a tiny crack in my emotional defenses where they can climb back in and start dismantling hope from the inside.
But somehow, the endless visual feast more than compensates for the difficulty."

@killyourfm I love seeing the mental changes, and that weird euphoria at altitude where you have to keep reminding yourself that survival is also a thing to think about.
@killyourfm that might just be me, though
@sunumbral It's not just you! The sheer sight of raw nature can sometimes be so overpowering that it takes center stage in our brain cycles. Which is to say, I tend to lose common sense the higher I climb.
Because the higher your climb, the more beautiful things seem to become.
