Hiking at Sunday River

How hiking gets me into a calm and relaxed state

”Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better”

-Albert Einstein 

       Nature is a wonderful and calming place. Whenever I am doing something in nature, whether it’s mountain biking, hiking, running, or something else like those activities, I always feel much more calm and “one with the earth.” Every weekend in the winter, my family, plus two other families, come up to Maine during the weekend. We all share the same house, and we love coming up to Maine to ski all weekend at Sunday River. We sometimes come up to Maine before the ski season starts to bring up luggage, have parties, etc. This time, my parents decided that we would hike the whole mountain on Saturday. This was exciting news, because all of the kids (plus two other family friends that don’t share the house with us) were coming. I was exited to just relax and play my Kendama on the hike, and admire the beautiful view.
