I've recently gotten back into Longboarding (like, skateboarding), and surfing. Both are relatively cheap hobbies once you get the necessary equipment, and I've been having a blast. Feel like a kid again tbh, I feel like I haven't "played" outside for years outside of some hiking and stuff

    Yes, hiking is amazing. Really, I need to do more hiking but I've been kinda preoccupied with surfing, but I've been hiking on and off for like forever. When I was a kid, I would basically spend all day playing in my local forest near a river, hiking around for miles. I really like hiking up mountains - if you ever get the chance to do Rocky Mountain NP you should definitely do it and hike Black Lake and Sky Pond. Next level incredible hikes

      Totally get it, I wanted to get into surfing but I've been too preoccupied with hiking lmao

      I used to wander around this canyon by my house for practically the entire day. My parents never believed me and thought I was going out with girls. Joke's on them 😎

      I fucking LOVE hiking up mountains, just bookmarked them on alltrails :) I've wanted to do a road trip over there at some point in the next couple years hiking as many places as possible along the way

        There's nothing like the Rockies. Also if you ever end up out in the Eastern Sierras, there's so much amazing hiking up there too. I did a trip out there for my birthday and it was just awesome, would say it has a distinctly different feel from the rockies but every bit as beautiful. The rockies somehow seem "bigger" though, even though they're not really

          Although I think I've done more difficult hiking by a little bit, my biggest goal is to hike Mt Whitney as soon as I can get a permit. Sometimes I catch myself mindlessly looking at pictures of how pretty it is lol

          I'd love to hike the JMT at some point also, but idk anyone else interested and idk if I'd want to do it solo

            I have heard mixed things avout whitney and I myself dont really have much interest in it, but I have also wanted to do the JMT for a while now. I know it'll be tough and idk where I'm gonna get 20 days off to complete it. But I'm in the same boat, no one I know would want to do it with me and I'm like... a bit nervous to do it by myself. It's absolutely stunning though
