14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The Inducement

Hiking during the mid-summer heat never fails to completely deplete the energy out of your body in a matter of minutes. However, the incentive nature had ready for me was more than enough to push me past my mental and physical limits. After hours of trekking through the thick forest, a wave of pure bliss overwhelmed my body as I witnessed this beautiful scenery.
