Mindful in the Mountains

In the mountains, how you move, what you take with you, and what you leave behind all matter. Water is precious, nature is delicate, and the trails tell stories from long ago. With small actions – a refillable water bottle or a packed lunch without unnecessary packaging – you help protect this special place. This video shows you how to experience the mountains mindfully. For yourself, for those who come after you, and for the mountains themselves.
