Hello SuperForest! On the weekend I went for a hike in Gatineau Park with a friend so I thought I’d share my experience and photos! When I get the chance, hiking is one of my favourite things to do — getting outside, challenging myself on the steep slopes, jutting around the roots and rocks and letting my mind breathe.
When I hike with this particular friend it also serves as a bit of a mutual therapy session; as if being in nature wasn’t therapy enough, we make sure to catch each other up on our lives and help each other figure out how to solve any issues we’re grappling with at that time.
It depends if you’re on a solitary hike or hiking with a friend or many others, but a hike can serve many purposes. It can be a fun outing, a peaceful retreat from city life, a therapy session, a connection with nature, and much more!
For me hiking allows me to be in nature (my favourite place to be) and to let that fresh air create fresh thoughts. Whether I’m chatting away brainstorming ideas with a friend, peacefully being silent and allowing thoughts to come naturally, or clearing my mind and simply taking in the beauty, my mind feels free and my body gets a workout.
We also came across a beautiful dog on our hike that day, I couldn’t resist capturing that pretty face…
So, breathe deep, SuperForest, and get outside for a hike!
Yours loving the crisp Autumn air,
SuperForester Heather
