Hiking Rivers in the Winter-The Need for Nature

Sometimes you just need to get out of the house and enjoy nature. One of the beautiful things about the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is that you can be outside the small city within a few minutes. It is possible to go for little hikes on a lunch break if you so desire.

As humans I believe we are most at rest when we are near nature. It is what puts us at ease and helps our minds relax. Like many other animals we need greenery around us to feel comfortable because our historical development has been in nature and not in cities. Large cities only came onto the scene for most of us in the last 500 years.

Obtaining some of the benefits of nature can come from pictures on your office wall, a small garden in your back yard,  plants in your house, or eco vacations where you can see nature at its full beauty.
