We've become very sedentary creatures. We spend most our lives in our home and work, moving between the two, and once in a while - we take trip. Most trips are taken to another city, and only a few go out to nature. But even better than going to one location in nature, is strapping a good pair of shoes on, taking some equipment, and going on a hike. Humans used to hike all the time, from one hunting ground to the next. And as you hike, you will feel this absurd, primitive happiness that your legs are taking you from one amazing vista to the next. It's such a beatiful world out there, and there's no better way to feel a part of it than travelling through it on your own two legs. Enjoy these stunning photos taken by hikers, and maybe you'll get inspired for your next vacation! |
