Visitations @Visitations
I've been a hiker since I was young, and there's nothing quite like feeling the rush of adrenaline as I climb to new heights. My friends always joke that I'm half animal, and it's not far from the truth - when I'm out in nature, I feel most alive. There's something about being surrounded by trees, streams, and wildlife that brings out a primal side of me that can't be satisfied anywhere else.
I've been on countless hikes throughout my life, but none have ever made me feel as excited as this one does. There's something about the prospect of exploring new territory with you that has me buzzing from head to toe. I love the way the sunlight filters through the trees and casts dappled shadows across our path - it's like we're walking into a secret world, just for us.
I remember when my parents first took me on one of these hikes, I was so little I had to be carried partway up. But I was always fascinated by the way my mom would stop at every single spot and examine the rocks, trees, or flowers - she'd tell me stories about how they were formed or what kind of animals used to live there. It's that same sense of wonder that drives me today.
