The Northwest Elevates the Spirit

Recently, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Mt. Rainier and Mt Olympic in Washington. It was breathtaking. There were magnificent vistas from every vantage point and beauty at every turn. Driving around the area was awe inspiring. Colossal pines, flanked on both sides, lined the roads everywhere we went. Snow-capped Mt. Rainier provided some of the most spectacular hiking trails I have ever been on, most especially at Paradise located at the top of the mountain. 

I've explored mountain ranges in Tennessee, Colorado, California, North & South Carolina, and New Mexico, and I believe the sheer magnitude and beauty of the mountains found in Washington provide the very best experience anywhere I have visited.

I'm grateful I had a chance to see this part of the country. I realize how many people never have an opportunity to travel and see what a remarkable country America is. There are children who have never left their city's limits, and worse still, are those who have never traveled outside their inner city neighborhoods. I know I am fortunate, and I remind myself of that everyday during my gratitude meditation.

Being in nature is a rejuvenating experience. The Japanese called it Shinrin Yoku, "Forest Bathing". I love that description. To walk in a forest is to bathe in nature's essence and return from it with sense of well being. I believe this travel experience left an indelible impression on me. I would recommend visiting this part of the country to anyone seeking to be emotionally and spiritually moved. I was and I am better for it.
