Mountains

This is from a few different backpacking/hiking trips. Going off the grid on a hike in a beautiful location is one of the best ways I find peace and clear my head, even though some of these hikes may be extremely difficult. This is what's known as "type-2 fun," where you may not enjoy it in the moment but you sure as hell are glad you did it.
