How To Celebrate National Love A Tree Day!

~ enthusiasticaboutlife

Today is National Love a Tree Day, a day that honors and celebrates trees! As someone who loves nature (and yoga), you can say I have a thing for trees….and tree-poses! And sometimes my love for certain things extends to those closest to me!

If you’ve been following for a while, you’ll know that I am #EnthusiasticAboutHiking AND #EnthusiasticAboutYoga, with the tree-pose being my favorite pose! My friend Carrie noticed this and began tree-posing during her trips, which I believe is a great way to celebrate National Love a Tree Day. Get out there, enjoy some nature, and maybe strike a tree pose!

Check out Carrie and her tree-poses throughout Arizona and let me know if she’s inspired you to get out and hike!

If you are an avid hiker in Arizona, then February 1st was probably the most stressful day of your life. BECAUSE RESERVATIONS FOR HAVASUPAI FALLS OPENED UP THAT DAY AND NOBODY WOULD ANSWER THE PHONES!!!

Okay, I’m done yelling but seriously, my cousin and I spent all day trying to call Havasupai Falls (one of the most beautiful hiking areas in Arizona) to try to reserve a spot and nobody answered 🙁 and then miraculously we found that a website had been launched and we were able to reserve. And we got through! So I’m super excited to be crossing off that major bucket list item this year, especially since it was one of the bucket list items to cross off in 2017.
