Storybook Trail

A couple of years ago, I started hiking, but then I stopped last year. I’m not sure why I stopped, but I want to get back into it. Hiking is an interesting activity because, on the one hand, yes, it’s very calming, and on the other hand, that calm and peace can almost be overwhelming. I find that hiking allows me to breathe and think, and this trail was absolutely gorgeous.
