Placed among scenic nature, Cascades Nature Park gives you a peaceful break from the routines of life. Seeing this peaceful place recently really changed me because I admired its natural beauty and calm atmosphere. I felt my mind calm down as I experienced the refreshing scent of pine trees as I went into the park. Hearing the leaves move and the cheerful chirping of the birds put together a perfect soundtrack for my walk. I put my mind to following the curving paths that brought me among the trees and with each bend I could see incredible views of waterfalls and many colourful wildflowers.
Reaching the overlook was one of the best experiences of my trip. Being there, I noticed how beautiful the whole valley looked as the sun was sinking and the landscape turned golden. I was in sheer delight, considering life and treasuring the basic pleasures of being out in nature. I met kind fellow hikers, who told me about their expeditions and why they enjoy nature. Being in a group, I felt appreciated by Mother Nature and also connected with the people who value the park.
The sky turned orange and pink with the setting sun which filled me with deep appreciation. I realized again how important it is to spend time with nature and reset after going to Cascades Nature Park. That day left me really happy and I am excited to go back and continue exploring every corner of this wonderful spot.
