At The Ridge, we believe that hiking should be accessible to everyone. Unfortunately, gatekeeping can sometimes hinder participation in the outdoor community. Which is why Kaitlyn and Danni are starting a short series, "The Ridge Talks Gear". They will be working to dismantle these barriers over the next few weeks as we transition into the beautiful fall season.
So join us as we share tips and insights to help you feel confident exploring the vibrant trails and stunning landscapes during this colorful time of year. Follow along for the inside scoop on how to make the most of your outdoor adventures!
Happy Hiking!

Love these mindfulness techniques from Shenandoah National Park ! Great to keep in mind these things when taking in your surroundings and feeling truly present when hiking. Hiking can be healing!

Nature is the perfect place for rest and relaxation! While exploring Shenandoah National Park, take a moment for mindfulness by trying out some of these techniques...

While enjoying a view from our overlooks finish the following statements... I notice______, I wonder______, I feel _______.

Be completely silent for 30 seconds and take some deep breaths of the fresh mountain air.

Sit quietly for 5 minutes and create a sound map of what you hear around you.
Draw the view you're looking at, the waterfall you see, or anything else that catches your eye in nature!

Share your favorite mindfulness nature techniques with us in the comments below!

Photo Descriptions: A whiteboard propped up on a backpack next to an interpretative sign at one of the overlooks along Skyline Drive.

Alt Text: The image is of a whiteboard propped against a backpack on a rock wall next to an interpretive sign that says "A Skyline Drive for a Bird's-Eye View". The handwritten note on the whiteboard says "As you take in the view, finish the following 3 statements... 1) I notice... 2) I wonder... 3) I feel... *Ask me any questions you're wondering about." In the background there is a view of tree covered mountains and blue sky.
