When you’re finally feeling good about yourself and someone says “you look tired.” What the elk, Terry? Take a hike. No, really. It’s Take a Hike Day! Wow, there’s a day for everything. With more than 21,000 combined miles of trails, there are plenty of options to take a hike in a national park. But the day is almost over? (We meant to post earlier, but we got distracted. We’re fine to extend it through the weekend.) Hiking is also proven to have many health benefits, ranging from the physical exercise you get when out on the trail, to the emotional or mental relief that comes from being in nature. Unless you’re being chased by a bear (hmm, cardio workout is amazing) or just don’t like the great outdoors. Is that why you look tired? Hit the trail and enjoy a hike! Or not. We can only do so much. P.S. You don’t look that tired. Happy Friday! Image: Thank you for your comment, Terry. An elk thinks over its friendships as it stares intently. #TakeAHikeDay #tired #outdoors #hiking #...
