should i push myself to hike scary trails?

Last weekend, my husband and I were planning our summer road trip, and he brought up hiking Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park. Now, I know it’s supposed to be one of those bucket-list hikes, but just looking at the photos of those steep drop-offs makes my palms sweat. I’ve always been more comfortable on flat, paved paths—nothing too wild or rocky. He, on the other hand, loves the thrill and keeps nudging me to try more challenging trails. I remember the time we did the Mist Trail in Yosemite. Coming down those slippery steps with the water spraying everywhere, I honestly thought I was going to slip and tumble off the mountain. It was supposed to be beautiful, but all I could think about was how fast my heart was pounding and how much I wanted to be back on solid ground. Now, with Angel’s Landing, I’m torn. Part of me wants to share these adventures with him, but another part of me wonders if I’m just not cut out for these kinds of hikes. Has anyone else felt pressured to do something outside their comfort zone for a loved one? Did you regret it, or was it worth the nerves? I can’t help but feel a little resentful that he doesn’t seem to get how real my fear is. At the same time, I don’t want to hold him back. It’s tough finding that balance between supporting each other and not pushing too far. #hikingadventures #relationshipdilemmas #overcomingfear #Travel
