SIDE TRIP TO CANAWA SPRING
After the grueling hours of an overnight climb with legs weary, bodies sore, and spirits tested, nothing feels more rewarding than immersing yourself in the ice-cold embrace of a spring.
The chill shocks the body at first, but soon it washes away every trace of exhaustion, leaving you refreshed, renewed, and alive. It’s nature’s way of reminding us that after every struggle comes a sweet, simple reward.
