6.4 miles
3,093 feet elevation gained 📈
I went on a hike last Friday and it was brutal. The photo doesn’t really show how steep the trail really is, and the trail almost looks flat in this picture. I probably should have taken a photo going uphill. ⛰️
The hike gave me a lot of time to reflect about how this trail is much like life.
It was a hard climb. The trail was very steep in certain spots. 🥾
The trail was rock in places and my foot slipped.
My legs got tired and I stumbled on a few tree roots.
The whole time I kept thinking is this worth it?
And just like life – it is worth it.
The trail might be difficult. We may slip and stumble at times. We may even wonder, why are we on this path?
Yet, the end was magnificent! The views were breathtaking and I was proud of my accomplishments.
This hike reminded me that nothing worthwhile is ever easy. Hard work will always pay off, and there’s a reward for following a difficult path. We may question our decisions, but when we stay focused and just put one foot in front of the other we can accomplish anything! 🏆
