Parks
Hiking provides me access to nature and its many benefits. Once I step foot on one of my favorite trails, or get close to water or the mountains, I instantly feel lighter. Being close and connected to nature heals me. It energizes me. And even more so, it awes me. It is my church. I feel connected to a higher power when I’m immersed in nature. The outdoors is proven to make me happier so it’s a place I love to be.
