Where do you look when you are seeking solace, seeking comfort or time to yourself to breathe in fresh air? Do you grab a good book, your bike or fishing pole, or perhaps your hiking boots? Whatever your 'go to' wellness reset is we believe that spending time in the outdoors, in nature, with your tribe, is synonymous with health care. Call it an outdoor wellness check and start planning your next visit to the Kern River.
A lower snow pack and mild winter temps in the southern Sierra's near Kernville and Kern River are creating opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to spend more time outside this Winter and Spring. Sunny skies make conditions near the Kern perfect for wandering, exploring and participating in your favorite outdoor sport, while cool, crisp nights make your evening campfire even more of a treat while stargazing.
According to Mayo Clinic nurse practitioner Jodie M. Smith, "There are many studies that demonstrate how spending time in nature can improve mood, lower anxiety, and improve cognition and memory." Smith goes on to say that "there is evidence that nature exposure is associated with better cognitive function — like memory, attention, creativity and sleep quality."
