That looks like a great trip. The silence is one of the best things about being out in nature like that. It allows you to clear your head and think properly. Maybe it's the air too.
How long was the hike? It looks like you went through quite a few zones.
I’ve noticed that my head usually becomes clear when I start to come down :) Clear mind should be earned with the hiking upwards. This hike was around 6-7 hour, relatively long one. Thank you for your comment
