Many times while I’m hiking I look up ahead to see where the trail will lead me. In this case I could see the trace of the trail up high cutting across horizontally on the side of the far mountain. To get there I had to descend to a saddle or pass and then climb and climb to get there.
I don’t know where you are getting your strength to keep going on this journey. I would be completely over whelmed. The views you bring us are spectacular but the work to get there is beyond imagining and that so many hikers do it is amazing. Love, Starr
