Daily Reflections:
Started the day with a cozy fire and breakfast, talking with some hunters who warned us about bow season. The climb to Parkview Summit was brutal, but the views made it all worthwhile. Today was a struggle—both physically and mentally—but I kept going. Managed to connect with family, which lifted my spirits. Finished the day exhausted but content, camped out with more hikers around—always a comfort to have others nearby, especially with the sound of coyotes in the distance.
