I felt that the trails from paradise showed me the beauty of nature, while the trails from sunrise revealed its harshness. Perhaps it all comes down to the perspective.
Paradise is surrounded by abundant wildlife and lush forests, but as I ventured towards the sunrise, the only animals I encountered were a group of sheep (there were even very few hikers, but one passing hiker kindly pointed out where the sheep were). The landscape transformed into desolate Rocky Mountains. With few trees around, the wind was relentless, and I found myself exposed to the rain. However, the silver lining was that no one obstructed my view, allowing me to see distant landscapes clearly.
This breathtaking vista made my problems and pains seem insignificant.
Some unexpected events waited me. Suddenly a deer jumped into center of the road, she got in my way to back to airport when I was driving. She walked around like drawing a circle on the road, and disappeared into forest. I felt like she was saying goodbye. That was the last delightful event at the National Park.Severe weather in this day made rainbow for me. It encouraged me walking more.
Such subtle events made me good feeling.
Although I could not get the point where I planned going, I was satisfied seeing many.
Bye, sunrise. Until meet again.
