Absolutely makes me be “in the moment”…. as I am sitting in my cubicle at work 🙂
Thank you SO much for this post~
She does such a good job of describing what she sees. I wish I could just teleport there…
The scenery is breathtaking! I am sure that going to that place is really stunning and wonderful place to unwind. I hope places like this will be preserve for the next generation. And so they will likely enjoy a beautiful place to hike.
