Training like a dagestani wrestler and living like a monk, I love this place. 🤟🏽😁⛰️
Put in 19.25 miles straight on some of the most difficult, rugged and adventurous trails in the Northeast.Thankfully I had a cozy camp site to come back to so I could relax, read, cook delicious food and enjoy some time alone in the mountains.
While I was on the trail I met some amazing people that were Thru-hiking the appalachian trail. I joined them for the rest of the hike to the summit where we all shared our hiking experiences and had some lunch with amazing views of the White Mountains. Good luck to all of you and the rest of your Journey through the rest of New Hampshire and Maine, Mt. Katahdin awaits you!
These trips to the Mountains are always a great experience. Hiking offers a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. Physically, it improves cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and enhances balance and flexibility. Mentally, hiking helps reduce stress and anxiety by immersing you in natural surroundings, which has been shown to lower cortisol levels and improve mood. The rhythmic movement and fresh air promote mindfulness, offering a break from screens and daily stressors. Emotionally, being in nature can foster a sense of peace, clarity, and connection—both to the environment and to oneself. Whether it’s a short trail or a challenging summit, hiking nurtures overall well-being in a uniquely holistic way. Plus you get to see grand views live in the moment and meet new friends along the way.
⛰️ Enjoy The View 📷
