There’s a trail in Colorado that I used to hike all the time. It wasn’t the most beautiful in the state and it wasn’t an impressive 14er or a long-distance trail or anything to write home about really. But it was a trail where without fail I could experience total, uninterrupted focus.
No matter what was going on in my life, when I pulled on my hiking shoes and hit that trail, within 10 minutes I’d be in the zone. It wasn’t so steep that I’d be struggling and gasping for breath, but it was demanding enough that it required my full attention.
