I thought I was ready for Bryce Canyon’s Wall Street trail—just another hike, just another photo op. But halfway down, the silence pressed in. The red rock walls closed tight, and every step felt like walking into my own head. People talk about awe, but nobody warns you about the weird loneliness that hits when you’re surrounded by beauty you can’t share. My phone was useless; the signal was gone. I watched sunlight crawl across stone and realized how small I was—how much I wanted someone to see it with me, or at least to say, “Yeah, I get it.” It’s not the landscape that gets you. It’s the echo of your own thoughts when there’s nowhere to hide. #Travel #SoloTravelTruth #HikingConfessions
