It's struck me the last two hikes we were on that someone went exploring, decided a route would make a great recreational hike, and that work got done to make it a physical reality.
It was never anything I gave much thought to until the other day.
Well-signed, well packed mountain hikes, or any walk for that matter, should not be taken for granted. They need to found and decided on. Trails need to be made and kept up, and the people who do it dedicate time, money and resources so others can walk through the bush safely.
So thank you to everyone who ever had anything to do with any hike anywhere that made it so.
The light portion between the trees and mountains is the Trans-Canada Highway.

Around here, planning, building (and maintaining) hiking trails is a popular Eagle Scout project. Also often done by other volunteers.

You are so lucky to live close enough to the mountains that you can go and enjoy those hikes!
That is a beautiful photo. Thanks for sharing.
It's amazing, when we stop and think about it, how much of our lives is made easier by the silent work of others whom we never see or know.
That sounds like an excellent project, Mary Anne.
Bag Lady, I am tickled silly to live here. You're welcome.
That's so true, Messymimi. Most of us don't give it, or them, much thought.
I so agree. Thanks to those who can provide a place for us in the great outdoors.
Gosh, those photos make me want to come out there. The woods and crags definitely are calling me. Thanks, Leah.
