ADVENTURES

[

The great outdoors . Open air . Health and longevity . These are the things that come to mind when picturing the Rockies , dotted with trees and powdered with snow , or the vast burnt orange platforms of the Grand Canyon , and even our own backyards as we watch the birds peck at the feeder . There ’ s something about nature that is simultaneously calming and invigorating .
A rush of joy and adrenaline seeps into the bloodstream of outdoor enthusiasts , and their hearts pump it through , from their fingertips to their toes . The experience of doing the things you love , or trying new things you ’ ve only heard about before , is unsurpassed when the setting has no tangible boundary . For miles , you see only the ocean , or pines that stand three times as high as you do , but seem like specks of dust in the distance .
Breathe in the colors of the natural world , and feed your body what it craves most : movement . Adventure is just around the corner ; The true challenge is in merely making the jump .
