Benefits of Hiking

Hiking is often very effective for easing anxiety and depression, and it is a treatment option that is accessible to the vast majority of people.

In contrast to our neighborhoods, homes and offices, wilderness areas are generally quiet and peaceful. This helps you to shed some of the stress caused by daily life. Disconnecting from your day-to-day life in this way can be very restorative and help reduce your anxiety and depression.

Scientists have even found that spending time in nature – even simply looking at nature – helps relieve stress and recharge your mind, body and soul. In fact, looking at a natural setting helps reduce pain and accelerate the healing process. And if you hike with a friend or loved one, you’ll often find this helps alleviate your stress even more thoroughly. So let's go out of our comfort zone, out of our daily routine, out of our way. Let's go outside.
