After a long day of hiking, exhaustion sets in as my body cries out for rest. Each step feels heavier than the last, my muscles burning with fatigue. The once beautiful scenery blurs in the distance as my focus narrows to simply putting one foot in front of the other. The weight of my pack digs into my shoulders, adding to the overall sense of weariness. But despite the physical strain, there is a deep satisfaction in knowing that I pushed myself beyond my limits. And as I finally collapse at camp, I am grateful for the opportunity to test my limits and conquer the trail.
