It's a different kind of experience than if you were to check out every pebble and smell every flower. I don't think you can compare them and say which one is more valid.
To better understand the "other side", consider these:
o When going fast you cover more ground, see the mountain from different sides, catch the view from different peaks, etc...
o Exerting yourself physically excites the body and the mind. It's just a different overall experience, some would say more primal.

- derek_frome 8y agoThis has been my experience. For instance, there's a ~40 mile loop in the Sierras that I've done as a 3 day backpacking trip and as a one-day run. Carrying more means I can bring my nice camera and take photos anywhere I want to stop. But going light and fast means I get to experience the place unburdened, with just food and water on my back. It's impossible to say one is better or worse than the other. Although I can tell you which one hurt more.
