What are you doing to wind down and relax?

I am an avid urban and nature hiker and spend many of my weekends either urban hiking to complete routine household chores or hitting nature trails enjoying the beautiful, rugged landscape our country offers. In March 2020, I’ll be volunteering for the first time as a dog handler for the 2020 Iditarod Race in Alaska.
