First hike after depression – Lake Michigan Shoreline, Grand Haven State Park, Michigan, USA
Things at home weren't great recently, so I spent last weekend doing a simple overnight hike and beach camp along the Lake Michigan shoreline near Grand Haven State Park. Nothing technical, just an easy trail with a night by the lake.
Nothing ambitious,I just wanted to get outside again.
Walked most of the day, had some bread on the trail, stopped a few times to sit by the beach before heading on to the campground.
Packed pretty light:
\- Tent
\- Sleeping bag
\- Sleeping pad
\- Stove
\- Water filter
\- Power bank
\- Pump sack + mini air pump (brought both, but only ended up using the pump)
The weather stayed clear the whole trip, so camping by the lake was about as easy as I could've hoped for.
Got back the next afternoon, taking it slow on the hike back. Felt noticeably better than when I left. I forgot how much a quiet night outside could help clear my head.
Probably going to make these short overnight trips a more regular thing.
Has anyone else found one trail or campsite they keep going back to whenever they need a mental reset?
