There certainly is a lot of hype surrounding ‘mindfulness’ these days—and for good reason with the hustle and bustled of our quick-paced lives. Grey County provides an awe-inspiring array of rich colours, sounds, smells and textures throughout the four seasons to practice mindfulness. Any patch of nature that captures your senses will do, be it the sun’s rays dancing through rustling trees, a warm breeze enveloping you, or an orchestra of crickets in tangled wild flowers.
There’s nothing more peaceful than a sleigh, wagon or horseback ride through a snowy forest. A handful of Grey County operators offer unique horse-drawn experiences. Tour a maple bush, view the Festival of Northern Lights in a new way or start a Christmas holiday tradition. Learn more here.
Enjoy a ride through the mud, water, hills and valleys.
