Is This The Escape You Need?

By: Brian Lewis + Save to a List



When you strip away modern conveniences and spend a few days high in the mountains in the dead of winter, you fall into a routine that’s very different from your normal “civilized” routine. Influenced by this simple life, your mind clears and you start thinking differently about what’s important. Cell phones are silent, reality TV is miles away, bosses and spreadsheets long forgotten. The only things that matter are feeding the fire, sweeping the deck and soaking in the mountain wonder that surrounds you.
