Hike Challenge Group

There are so many benefits from hiking and being outside.  Breathing in all that oxygen is energizing.  The more oxygen in your bloodstream, the more energized you'll feel. 

“Research shows that hiking has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety,” says Gregory A. Miller, Ph.D, president of the American Hiking Society. “Being in nature is ingrained in our DNA, and we sometimes forget that."

In addition, fresh air can boost your mood.  The smells in nature can reduce stress and increase happiness. Research suggests that the smell of wildflowers, pine trees, and even rain all have positive effects on our mood and ultimately our well-being. Plus, being out in creation is a great way to worship our God. 

If you have wanted to hike with us but are a little frightened because you have never done it before, we have got you covered!
