A few months ago, the Sierra Club sent me a link to 6 of America’s Most Dangerous Hiking Trails.
Reading the list did NOT make me want to strap on my hiking boots. Heat, cold, thin air, ice, bears, and snakes knocked all 6 hikes out of contention for a coveted spot on my Bucket List.
At least until I’m ready to kick the bucket.
I prefer to avoid falling rocks, unexpected blizzards, and encounters with wild and savage beasts while hiking.
Despite my survival instincts, I enjoy hiking to waterfalls and mountain tops.
As the path unfolds before me, I embrace movement, air, light, sound, and glorious vistas.
These days, most of our “hiking” (if you’re being charitable) takes place on the beach. Air, sunlight, splashing waves, turquoise seas ~> BLISS!
And nary a snake in sight!
Aah . . . that’s better!
