Trails through the woods are good. The places we can go to are there because of people's hard work. Many worked their entire life to keep these natural places from being developed and forever lost. When we go up to a peak on a trail constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) we benefit from the planning and hard work of those depression era workers. With every step we take we can call them to mind.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but Nature's sources never fail. ... The petty discomforts that beset the awkward guest, the unskilled camper, are quickly forgotten, while all that is precious remains. Fears vanish as soon as one is fairly free in the wilderness."
John Muir
"Life is a great adventure... accept it in such a spirit." Theodore Roosevelt
"If you wish to advance into the infinite, explore the finite in all directions."
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
"Only that day dawns to which we are awake.”
― Henry David Thoreau
