Blue Mountains

Not only was it easier to look inward being removed from countless distractions, the natural beauty of mountains inspired me to ponder a number of areas in my own life. As I was awe struck looking over the canyons and admiring the subtle scenery on each trail, I realized how important adventure as well as the outdoor environment are for me. Ever since I was a kid, I've always had an interest in hiking and exploring nature, but this trip revealed that this interest is far more serious than I thought. As I wrote in my last blog post, I love challenging myself, especially physically, and hiking is the perfect avenue to do so. O
