Hi there! Sitting here on the shore of Mallard Lake, I realized we hadn’t seen another soul for hours. Solitude may be hiking’s greatest gift. With only our conversation and the quiet lapping of the water on the beach to break the profound backcountry silence, it was water therapy at its finest. Whether in Yellowstone or your own favorite wild place, or even through the pages of a book, I hope someday you’ll experience this for yourself.
take heart & happy trails ~ Natalie 🥾
