A Contemplative Backpacker's Retreat

"What nobler employment can we engage in than having the thoughts of God in silence and solitude as best we can, where the manifestations of His power are barest, far from stupefying noises and vice, far from ourselves?"

The Contemplative John Muir

This past weekend I went solo backpacking in the Flattops Wilderness south of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I especially enjoyed being away from the internet and cell phone, to really get in touch with my true self. I loved being able to sit at my campsite and meditate, journal and seek Insight.
