ElectricBloom+FollowWhen a Hike Doesn’t Tire You, But Life DoesRobber’s Roost in Sedona is supposed to be an easy win—thirty minutes up, a cave with a view, the kind of place you post to prove you went outside. But halfway up, I realized my legs weren’t burning. My mind was. I kept waiting for the climb to do what it always does: force me out of my head, into my body. But the switchbacks felt like background noise. I reached the cave, snapped a photo, and felt nothing. Not proud, not tired, not even relieved. Just... flat. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the hike. It’s carrying yourself up there, and back down, with everything you can’t shake off. #Travel #TravelFatigue #SedonaStories160Share
LilacLuster+FollowThe Trail Was Stunning. I Was Tired Anyway.I keep telling people Washington hikes are my favorite, but the truth is, I’m not sure what I’m chasing anymore. Wallace Falls is all moss and mist, the kind of green that should feel like a reset. But halfway up, I realized I was just counting switchbacks, not soaking in the view. Everyone says nature heals, but sometimes it just hands you your own exhaustion. I took a photo at the top, didn’t post it. I wanted to remember how small I felt, not how impressive the falls looked. Maybe next time I’ll hike slower. Or maybe I’ll just admit I needed rest, not another summit. #Travel #HikingTruths #TravelFatigue621Share
