"If you want to know how the road looks, ask the people who have come back." One day, we went hiking at Crater Lake and were preparing to descend into the crater to see the lake up close. As we walked down, we realized the 2-mile trail can go almost 700 feet deep to the bottom! We began to question how difficult it would be to make the round trip back up. While we were contemplating this, we saw people returning from the hike. Many of them appeared extremely exhausted and were struggling to catch their breath. Many of them kept asking us how far it was to the top.
After assessing our capabilities, we stopped and waited for our stronger friends to return and share some pictures with us. In other words, if you have the opportunity to observe people who have already experienced what you want to experience, take the time to learn from them. It is priceless.
