Another bonus is cameras force you to stop and linger at scenes to take them in. If you're just "going for a hike" it's too easy to blast through a few miles with only a few minutes to snack at whatever the turnaround point is. But if you're lugging a bunch of gear? You are gonna be hunting for shots the entire time, it helps a lot with appreciating what's out there.

Getting that dopamine hit of making a nice shot is good for motivating you go to back out too.

agreed with all this. I've been going through mostly the same rotation of trails around here every few weeks for the last couple years and they never really get old
