INTO THE THICK OF IT

The thrill of the hike

It's not often in today's day and age that you get silence. We're surrounded by the buzz of our phones, the call of our laptops, and the overall noise of our day to day life. But in nature, a new sound exists. I have yet to meet anyone who can successfully hike long distances while looking at their phones, checking for emails. Hiking forces you to disconnected and focus on the ground ahead. One step in front of the other until you reach your destination. Wherever that may be. Whether it's in a forest, up a mountain, or by a lake, something takes over when you see nature. When you realize that the world is pretty incredible once you get into the thick of it.
