Day Hike Tips

We have plenty of beautiful mountains to hike that are just outside our city. Take your family outdoors more this summer. Vacation travel will most likely be cut for most of us. The next best thing is NATURE! Plenty of great campsite are around too! Teach  your children about what is around them. Does anyone really know every tree outside? Eatable plants? These are fun things to learn that will also be taken with your children throughout their lives.

Do it for yourself too.  Even easy hikes are great exercise, better for the joints than straight walking.  And it's the ultimate in aroma therapy.  Inhaling all the great fresh scents of the leaves, pines, lakes is soothing and refreshing to the mind. 

I do like the scent of pines, it's very relaxing.

And the breeze off the lake is filled with positive ions!
