It was great to leave the valley and take our first backpacking trip of the season. I was in way better shape than I thought, carrying a pack weighing about 30-35 pounds and hiking the first day about 2-3 miles, virtually all uphill, without having to stop much. It was a beautiful couple of days.
It’s always nice to get away from everyday life and technology and just enjoy “being”.
Here is a photo of Pfeifferhorn Peak that I took at the end of the Maybird Gulch Trail we hiked on our second day:

I completely agree with you. Hiking is the best way to escape from the everyday life. I like your pictures too.
