Trails Are Restorative
Whether hiking, bicycling, riding on horseback or participating in motorized recreation nearly everyone uses trails for a similar goal – to spend time outdoors. This time outside, whether a short walk down a paved trail to work in an urban setting, or a hike to a point reachable to only a few Americans makes trail users happier people.
For every $1 spent on trails, there is a $3 savings in healthcare costs. Spending even 20 minutes outside will have short term effects on the brain to reduce stress.
