We’re living in a busy, stressful, overwhelming era, and mental health has become an increasingly important topic of conversation as rates of anxiety and depression increase. Coming out of a global pandemic and in the midst of the proliferation of social media and technology, many people are looking for new ways to improve their state of mind and achieve serenity. While it might not cure everything, nature is a powerful tool that anyone can access, regardless of age, outdoors experience, fitness level, or access to technical gear. With this book in hand, readers will find the inspiration and information needed to use nature to improve their mental and physical health. Part guidebook, part journalism, Therapy Hikes will be a definitive guide for anyone who would like to explore the healing power of the great outdoors. This book will feature traditional guidebook chapters with practical details about specific soul-soothing destinations across the country. These hikes may be skewed to Colorado and other western states but will be primarily included as examples. Readers can explore these hikes themselves if they’re close enough or use them as inspiration to find similar natural areas closer to home.
