In today’s high stress world, it is often difficult to juggle all our daily activities and find the time to spend enjoying the outdoors. With tanning bed appointments, the gym, our social lives, and occassional extra work hours, our desire to experience Mother Nature often gets pushed aside in the confusion. Sometimes all it takes is to step back for a moment and look at our daily routines. All the above demands can be combined simply by donning a pair of shorts and hiking shoes and finding your local hiking trail. They’re located in most every city and neighborhood or for the more adventurous “The National Parks.” You get your exercise, plenty of sunshine and the opportunity to meet other people who enjoy the outdoors as well. For those who have established families, it is the perfect opportunity to spend quality time together in an enviroment rich in learning and diversity.
There’s something special about the trail. Some refer to the phenomenon as “Trail Magic.” It’s those little moments when it all comes together. The combination of the fresh air, sunshine, relaxed attitude converge with the inevitable delights that nature always provides. Rounding the bend and coming within sight of a mother doe nursing her young, salamanders lashing their tails at each other in the vernal pools along the river, or an absolutely perfect spider’s web covered in droplets of dew, bathed in the golden glow of the early morning sun, all seem to move one’s soul while providing a unique opportunity to learn more about ourselves and the world we live in. Whether in the park, woods, atop a mountain ridge or along the beach. Whether alone, with your children or with that special someone. All this and much more can be found by simply taking a hike.
