A buddy in Colorado told me my 12-mile daily targets were turning a trip into a forced march, so I cut them to 8 and actually started seeing the place.

Has anyone else had a friend call them out for treating a route like a checklist instead of an experience?

That's a solid wake-up call from your friend. Do you think you were just focused on the wrong goal before, like getting miles done instead of enjoying the hike? I mean, it's easy to get stuck on the numbers sometimes.

Yeah, I read a thing about how chasing stats can ruin the fun of anything.
