The demand for travel has more than stormed back, which means it’s the season to explore as another summer fades into the fall. If the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything at all, it’s that our own backyards are ripe for discovery, with worthwhile natural beauty in each and every state. Plus, getting offline and out-of-doors is a balm unto itself. We know there are multiple benefits to decreased screen time, from improved sleep, to deepened personal connections, to being more present, to increased productivity and capacity for learning, among many others. And according to the Mayo Clinic, time spent in nature has a host of purported benefits too, like lowering stress, heart rate, and blood pressure and improved ability to concentrate.
