Hiking isn't just a hobby its apart of my way of life. Its the time I used instead of staring at a screen for hours. Its my motivation to use the performance of my physical body using its abilities as it was intended by nature, not for my muscles shrivel up while sitting on a chair. When I step outside into the wildness, I escape the confines of reality and just be one with my myself. I take this solitude to reflect upon my life, set goals and find clarity. Sometimes these trails can be difficult to accomplish but finishing them offers me senses of deeper connection connection with me and the natural world.
