Any Time is Good for Desert Hiking

I've never been a gym rat or a team sports enthusiast, but I do like to hike in beautiful places.

It's deeply motivating to discover a new place by simply walking through it.

Here is a VLOG about a hike I recently took with Linda McMillan Pyle, the author of the book, "Peaks, Palms and Picnics." She loves to see the wonder in the smaller things Nature has to offer, and encourages a mindful, meditative time while you're at it.

Or picnics inspired by the local cuisine. There are so many places to have fun on foot, so if you're feeling like you need a break, hiking a beautiful area near where you live might just be that perfect staycation that takes the pressure off!
