Today’s Walk: Nature’s Therapy

Our family has experienced quite an emotional roller coaster ride these past few months (see previous posts). And today was the last day of my daughter’s visit so she and I headed up to Redwood National and State Parks to stretch our legs and do some communing with nature.

It’s hard to beat the vibe and warm emotional blanket that wraps around you when taking a walk in the forest. The quiet, stillness and earthy smells are like a tonic that rejuvenates your soul. We are fortunate to live so close to the big trees. The NPS site is large enough that if you go early, you can avoid other hikers and have the trails all to yourself. This is something I hope to never take for granted.

Our walk on Cal Barrel Road provided the respite we were seeking as well as some great photo ops. Enjoy my pics! #iluvtowalk #redwoodnationalandstateparks #myparkexperience #redwoods #humboldt
