Backcountry badassery, or an immersive experience?

This has been one of the most cited posts on my website since I published it in 2017. And the older I’ve gotten, the more I find myself focusing more on the journey and less about the outcome. If you’ve ever asked me about how long it takes to complete a specific trail, you’ve probably gotten a shortened version of this post.
