Ever have one of those days, weeks, months or even years where the world seems to be so hectic and crazy you can't seem to see the light of day? Well, try the great outdoors. Seriously. When was the last time you took a walk down a mountain trail? When was the last time you woke up in the morning and breathed cool, crisp, pure mountain air? How about the last time you took a bike ride along the side of a mountain? If you're a regular of the great outdoors then you know what I'm talking about. If you've never been, then you are really missing out.
The mountains are the perfect place to clear your head and get a little clarity. Going to the mountains is one of the only times I actually enjoy getting up early. Whether it's in a camp site or the balcony of a condo in the mountains, there is nothing like enjoying a hot cup of coffee (or whatever your favorite hot beverage of choice is) as the sun comes up and the world comes alive. Birds waking up and chirping, deer grazing in the fields—it's like a Disney cartoon but without any hidden meanings. The next time you're looking for some stress relief, give the mountains a try.
Thanks for reading, and happy vacationing!
