Over the weekend I was needing to get outside and go for a hike. In the low of the season when I do not have any winter camping plans or outdoor shows to attend, I feel the need to go outside getting stronger.
I decided to head out on Sunday morning to Presqu’ile Provincial Park, which is only a 30 minute drive from my place. Presqu’ile has multiple hikes and sometimes the lake creates some really cool features like ice volcanoes.
Unfortunately no such features were found today as I stopped and checked out Lake Ontario before heading to my hike. I also decided to stop by the lighthouse to see if there might be some ice features there, but alas, none there either.
From there I headed to Jobes’ Woods Trail. I have hiked this trail a few times before, so it was nice to just wander in the woods. Today it was really quiet and all I could hear were my footsteps in the snow and the birds singing in the trees. Every now and again I would see a squirrel run across the trail.
Getting out for this hike was just what I needed. Breathing in the nice cool winter air truly does some great things. I find my mind becomes clearer and I can focus more on the tasks that are needing completion back at home.
Do you also enjoy getting outside for some outdoor therapy? Let me know in the comments below.
You have my genes, certainly not your Father’s…lol. I think it is so refreshing to do a winter walk, snowshoe or ski……good for the soul. Enjoy it all <3
