Escape the Noise - Improve Mental Health!

Mental health is central to everything we do at Timpanogos Hiking Co.

We are living in a mental health epidemic. In 2023, 40% of adults reported struggling with mental health. That number is even higher among teens and young adults, nearly 60% of whom are battling mental health issues. 

Our tagline -- escape the noise -- is about a simple but incredibly effective antidote to this trend: getting outdoors and doing physical things. 

Hiking in particular has a ton of proven benefits, among them:

  1. Reduces stress and anxiety
  2. Clears mind/gives perspective
  3. Improves creativity/facilitates ideas
  4. Allows a mental break from screen saturation
  5. Reconnects us with nature
  6. Naturally increases seratonin and dopamine
  7. Curtails the loss of gray matter
  8. Makes us more attentive to the world around us
  9. Gets our blood pumping, which improves both physical and mental health
  10. Gives us time and memories with other people, or on our own!
