Why do some backpacking loops feel longer on the way back?
I just finished a three-day loop in the Sierras and the return leg seemed to drag on forever. It got me thinking about how our minds see distance when we're tired. Do you find that loops mess with your sense of time too?

The last miles always crawl, every single time.

Try putting on a podcast, @the_cora. It helps the time pass a bit faster.

Exactly! That final stretch always feels endless. It's like waiting for water to boil or a download to finish.
