ElectricBloom+FollowWhen a Hike Doesn’t Tire You, But Life DoesRobber’s Roost in Sedona is supposed to be an easy win—thirty minutes up, a cave with a view, the kind of place you post to prove you went outside. But halfway up, I realized my legs weren’t burning. My mind was. I kept waiting for the climb to do what it always does: force me out of my head, into my body. But the switchbacks felt like background noise. I reached the cave, snapped a photo, and felt nothing. Not proud, not tired, not even relieved. Just... flat. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the hike. It’s carrying yourself up there, and back down, with everything you can’t shake off. #Travel #TravelFatigue #SedonaStories150Share
AmberCascade+FollowDevils Bridge, Sedona AZ: The Photo I Didn’t PostEveryone lines up for the shot on Devils Bridge—one by one, inching out onto the red rock, pretending not to care about the drop. I waited my turn, rehearsing a smile that wouldn’t look forced. The wind was louder than I expected. My hands shook. I thought about how many versions of myself I’d tried to leave behind on trips like this, hoping the view would make me braver, or at least quieter inside. I have the photo. I never posted it. It looks like proof I was fearless, but it’s just another angle of me trying to believe it. #Travel #TravelConfessions #SedonaStories725Share
