Your very intelligent brain accurately warns you about doing things that are simply foolish. So,thankfully, you are still around and can continue to hike relatively safely in that stunning landscape, and not end up a pile of foolish bones on the bottom. That's a GOOD thing, lol.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215639731987075129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-47628774052804323302012-04-25T10:47:44.723-06:002012-04-25T10:47:44.723-06:00I figure life is too short to be adding unnecessar...I figure life is too short to be adding unnecessary stress, stress being the #1 cause of ill health and a shorter life.<br /><br />Baby steps. I push myself just a bit, short of causing stress, every so often on a hike. I <i>have</i> gotten less sensitive to heights over the past year. Without feeling any need to push it. (i.e. there's one hike I turned back on. Twice. Third time I did it. Fourth time it was a little easier. No stressing about it.)Tedhttp://kurumirakuru.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-16398450968396521562012-04-24T22:11:23.031-06:002012-04-24T22:11:23.031-06:00Ted, Nice to know I am not the only one with a pho...Ted, Nice to know I am not the only one with a phobia. <br /><br />Mark, As I stood there, the rational part of my brain was watching all those others on the arch. I thought I also could do that. Well. I couldn't. Too much stress. Lots of other trails to enjoy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311083597294672388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-23854300184597467012012-04-24T06:36:34.105-06:002012-04-24T06:36:34.105-06:00Well, you walked out to the narrow part... that to...Well, you walked out to the narrow part... that took some courage!

Sometimes I can steel myself and get past a bad section, but then I'll be dreading the return for the rest of the hike, so it's not worth it.<br /><br />C'est la vie. There are plenty of other trails which do not trigger my irrational fear.Tedhttp://kurumirakuru.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
