Hate waking in the middle of the night all slept out, so I have to stay active all day. When backpacking, I like an early start, going for 8-10 miles the first day. Then as soon as I get camp set up, I'm off on an exploratory hike. I call this the cool down hike after shucking that pack. But if trails other than the next days travel are available, I may add another 5-10 miles just exploring. Or, if a nearby peak looks interesting, I may go walk up there. The key here is walk. I don't do any tech climbing, no way whatsovever.:fear:
