Nature, the Ultimate Anti-depressant

One of our family’s favorite spots is the Davis Mountains in West Texas, home to the second darkest night skies in the U.S. We love to go there for the magical starry nights where the Milky Way can easily be seen without a telescope and for the sparsely populated terrain and the vast wilderness. We make this annual digital detox a priority–we completely unplug and just hike, stargaze, sleep and read for days–because it brings us back to ourselves and to one another.
