😆😆😆 Like you said, different body types. I feel great at 172, especially for my age.
My best friend is 6'3 and 165, his brother is 6'5" around your weight and our other roommate was 6'3" and 175ish. It was pretty funny telling everyone that I was the short fat guy in our house 😂 everyone is like , "wait... huh?". They were always running marathons and anytime someone invited me I'd tell them I only run when my life is in danger. I'll swim a mile before I'd sprint an eighth. I'd be in peak shape if I lived in Hawaii but the swimming ain't so good during winter up here in the Rocky Mountains.
My wife and I recently were in Estes Park for several days when we were hiking in the Rockies. Elk just wandered everywhere in the streets in Estes Park. We are avid hikers and love the west. Later this year we plan on going to Zion National Park, where I once again plan to do the Angel's Landing trail.
I just got back from what was supposed to be an eight week trip to eight national parks in the SW. I went to Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains, but cut the trip short because my AC broke while at Big Bend, and when going to a remote spot in west Texas, some local yahoos thought it would be funny to shoot a few dozen rounds from one or more semi-automatic rifles over my head, I suspect becuse I had NY license plates. At the time, I wasn't sure someone wasn't trying to actually shoot me, so it wasn't a lot of fun, since I was about 15 miles from the nearest paved road, if I had been shot/killed, it would have been days before I would have been found. I don't know how many people here have had bullets fly over their heads, to hear the whirring noise; I can now check that off of my "things I've experienced in my life" list :) I now need to cancel all the campground reservations made over six months ago. The being shot at wasn't the only reason for cutting my trip short, but it was the last reason :) Total trip length was 12 days, with seven of the twelve days driving out and back, over 5,000 road miles.
We've never had any problems in national parks, except being uncomfoclose to wildlife at times.
Here's a suggestion; Dongive up on the west or national parks, and try my all-time favorite place, Zion National Park in Utah. I guarantee you'll love it.
I actually have been shot at, when I was in the USMC some years ago. It reminded me of a quote by Winston Churchill: "Nothing is so exhilarating as to be shot at with no effect." Yup, exhilarating alright!
