My 7th 14er was the hardest for several reasons — old, out of shape, don’t live at elevation anymore, bad weather, much of the climb alone, etc — but I’m thankful to summit nonetheless.

As a beginner hiker, I can better understand my physical and mental limits during the hike, learning to rest and adjust when needed.

Managing time wisely and being prepared for unexpected situations helps improve adaptability and decision-making. Facing challenges with a positive mindset and strong willpower is key.

Love the worn aesthetic of this plate

Gorgeous morning for an early hike with my bride

I love the look of a trail heading into the unknown. This was in the Lofty Lake Loop High Uintas Utah.

Sometimes the trail is overrun with post thunderstorm rainwater and you’ve not no option but to hike right through it

Good day for a hike! ⛰️ 🚶

Seven Sisters Cliffs, England

My friend said it was like a forest bath, but I felt like I was in a sauna.

Finally understand what people mean when they say that hiking in the scorching heat tests not only your physical strength but also your willpower.
