We took our friend, Aaron on his very first off-road outing and now he is sold! This mini excursion on El Cariso Trail in Lake Elsinore was exactly what he needed. Actually, what we all needed.
With the plethora of tech tools and apps we enjoy today, there’s very little that requires us to actually step outside. We may work remotely from home, get groceries delivered to our door, interact with friends online and never have to leave the house. It can be quite easy to succumb to creature comforts and the warm embrace of our couch.
However, as we drove along the trail, Aaron’s perspective changed. He told us repeatedly, “this is a healing experience.” And for good reason! Off-roading provides an opportunity to disconnect from the world for a while because it simply can’t be done indoors.
Sure, there’s the element of off-roading that brings us sheer excitement and an adrenaline rush. But along with that, there are other benefits that promote well-being. Things like fresh air, mental clarity and a moment to get in touch with nature.
