The beginning of a hike is the best and worst. The best part is that you are starting off on a brand new journey. It is possible you do not know what you are going to see, so there is excitement in that. There is also excitement in simply getting out on the trail for the exercise. The worst part, from my perspective for long distance hikes over rough terrain or even just simply going up a steep hill, is at the start of the hike you are the farthest you will be from being done. This is a shot from the start. Still energetic, still optimistic. How quickly that changes.
I love hiking. I love the feeling of being exhausted, and sitting down for a rest and then just absorbing the views, smells and sounds of your surroundings. I love getting done with a hike, being dirty, and hungry, while at the same time feeling completely filled with awe and wonder. It is a great feeling that I would not trade for the world.
