A Weekend in the Mountains
Going off the grid and spending some time with nature, working hard for simple things, and just breathing mountain air is a recipe for better health.

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you. Early in my 30’s, the idea of adventure and hiking crept back into my life after an absence. For years, I was awash in school, a new career, marriage, babies and moving too many times. When the dust settled, I yearned for…
