My hike to the peak last night was good for more than just sore legs
The view of the Milky Way from up there made the climb worth it.

Seeing Orion that clearly makes the whole world feel small. Those moments are what I climb FOR.

Focusing only on Orion makes the climb less about the journey. Even with xena_anderson's red light tips, you can miss the details on the trail. The world feels vast when you're fully present, not just staring up.

That line about Orion making the world feel small hits hard. I always pack a red light headlamp for the hike down so your night vision stays sharp. Letting your eyes adjust for a full 20 minutes without any phone light makes the sky pop even more. Finding a high ridge away from city glow turns those moments from rare to regular. Do you plan your climbs around moon phases too?
