We have always found serenity and happiness on the trail, even in challenging conditions. And backpacking has certainly given us an appreciation of some of the other elements of our lives, both positive and negative. We liked this story written by a thru-hiker one year after he completed the PCT, partly because we agree with many of his points, even though the longest we've ever thru-hiked is a week or so. Trail life is a wonderful thing, and it gives a great perspective on the rest of the world.
