Mt Kalmont

Getting outside in the summer is as easy as putting on a pair of sneakers and walking out the front door. But when there's 3 feet of snow surrounding you, going for a hike can seem as more of a chore than a leisurely activity.

Hiking is an excellent way to ease a lot of the stresses that may have been weighing you down this winter. There's no better stress relief than trudging through a foot of snow with your over-sized sorels; crunching that fresh blanket cottony power to the forest floor. Trust me, once you're out amongst the tree-walled trails and away from all of the distractions of the city - allowing the fresh winter air to fill your nose and clear your mind - you'll wonder why you didn't go sooner.
