Connecting Women With The Outdoors

There are 58 national parks in the United States, covering over 55 million acres.

You’ll find every type of terrain from forest to desert to high mountain peaks. Any adventure you’re craving can be found within these pristine areas.

National parks are fantastic places to start exploring the great outdoors, or expand your experience. They are a great place to take the family to educate and entertain every generation.

Whether you’re looking for a simple day hike or a multi-day pack trip, national parks are a great place to begin.

There’s nothing like starting your day surrounded by Nature’s beauty and enjoying a delicious hot breakfast before setting foot to earth.

In doing research for a paper I came across some quotes that made an impact on my thoughts and really touched me. I thought I would share them.

To waste, to destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.  ~Theodore Roosevelt, seventh annual message, 3 December 1907

When the soil disappears, the soul disappears.  ~Ymber Delecto

In an underdeveloped country, don’t drink the water; in a developed country, don’t breathe the air.  ~Changing Times magazine

I’m not an environmentalist.  I’m an Earth warrior.  ~Darryl Cherney, quoted in Smithsonian, April 1990

When we heal the earth, we heal ourselves.  ~David Orr

We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.  ~Francis Bacon

I will leave you with these fruits of thought for now to blossom into action and hope.
