There are lot of things in this life that I take for granted. My family and friends, my training, the natural beauty if the world around us. This weekend I went on another hike (surprise surprise!) to Jasper. This time we went to the Geraldine Lakes. My hiking friend has been talking about it all summer and this was a last opportunity before the frost hits and it gets too cold.
I wanna get straight to the point tonight. I had my toes bashed on several tree roots determined to further further my acquaintance with the ground, knees smacked against uneven boulders, and several nice new scratches from surprise branches that just wanted to say hello.
Needless to say I was a little worn out when we close to the waterfall. But it was worth everything and more. It was this feeling of something that almost nobody gets to see. It felt different than climbing Whistlers in a way I can only hope to describe. Deep in the woods far away from anybody and anything, it was a quiet victory.
I can only work on having more of them.
