#adventure Stone Mountain is Georgia has a 1-mile

#adventure Stone Mountain is Georgia has a 1-mile hike to the summit with an elevation gain of 700 feet. The trail is rocky and steep in places. However, the solid granite core grounds the body; a great experience as you make your way up the side of the mountain. And the view from the top is excellent.

#walking Family time! Walking nights are frequent in our family and a great way to get outdoors and out of the house. After being in shoes all day, the cool ground beneath the soul reduces stress and helps calm the mind.

#adventure Even Bigfoot hikes shoe less! Many believe barefoot hiking is crazy, unsafe, too challenging or requires super tough feet. The truth is: it is none of these. Barefoot hiking is becoming more commonly accepted and more common. When your toes as well as the bottom of your feet can properly feel irregularities in the terrain, your body reacts quicker and maintains better stability. Every hike is challenging, but no more strenuous with or without shoes. And no you don't need super souls – the improved ground-feel will allow you to shift you bodies weight and adjust your footing to the terrain underneath.

#adventure Have you ever tried barefoot hiking? I

#adventure Have you ever tried barefoot hiking? I would highly recommend it. Choose a short path, possibly one you've hiked before. Walk slow and focus on where you are stepping. Pick a trail with sand, dirt, or leaf cover - unless your feet are already accustomed to trekking on rough terrain, you will want to build up your distance and progress to rougher surfaces over time. And enjoy your hike. You will feel grounded and possibly more focused when you finish your adventure.

#adventure With summertime here its time to get out and explore. I love hiking. It's a great way relax your mind. A slow barefoot walk along a tree covered path not only helps you forget about the workday but also realign your inner self.
