The Great Outdoors

Time to put your best foot forward and climb the mountain into more exciting adventures.

Embrace The Journey

  • Scavenger Hunt Twist: Beforehand, create a list of natural items to keep an eye out for (a specific type of leaf, an interesting rock, signs of wildlife). Add a few silly tasks like “find the most cloud-like rock”. First to complete the list gets a trail mix reward!
  • Mindfulness Moments: Take designated breaks along the hike for a few minutes of mindful observation. Close your eyes and just listen to the sounds of nature around you or try to identify different scents in the air.
  • Photography Challenge: Turn your hike into a photo shoot! Take turns posing for creative shots against interesting scenery, or capture details like flowers, unusual tree formations, etc.

Summit Special

  • Themed Playlist: While driving to the trailhead, create a playlist of songs about nature, hiking, or exploration to get into the adventurous mood that you can play at your picnic.
  • Surprise Element: Pack a small surprise for each other. It could be a favorite candy bar, a handwritten note, or a tiny nature souvenir that reminds you of the day.
  • Star Gazing Upgrade: If it’s a clear night, plan your hike timing so you reach the midpoint near sunset. Enjoy the changing light and then stick around after your meal for some stargazing.

Bonus Tip: Plan to stop at a local spot afterward. An ice cream shop, cozy café, or scenic brewery can be a lovely way to unwind after the physical activity.
