Wow--I relate to so much. And there is nothing quite like the feeling of PUSHING THROUGH all that and doing it... having done it! And then holding on to that, recalling it, for the next hike.
Gosh the hike sound so tough Heather! I don't think I would have coped with it, especially the heights. You did incredibly well. The photos of the scenery are beautiful. I know what you mean, total stillness is sometimes really uncomfortable and the thoughts creep in, but doing something in nature feels restorative. Oh and a 15 hour drive, wow! I thiught our 4 hour drive back from Cornwall to South Wales was bad 😄 🤣
Thanks for reading! I had no idea how challenging this would be when I did it last year, but there were so many cool parts so I keep pushing myself to conquer fears and shortcomings.
15 hours is not fun, TBH. I am not a car trip girl because I get car sick. But we drive 2 hours each way every weekend to go to the lake. Basically anywhere worth going in the US requires a huge drive or a flight which makes it a hurdle to travel, especially when you live in the middle of the country like me. I had to account for an extra three days off work for travel alone!

You've really captured it here, Heather!
Thank you so much for reading! I wanted to write this quickly after I got home so I wouldn't forget things.
