Take a Hike! 6 Products to Help you in the Great Outdoors
Did you know that between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, there are 15 different ecological regions in North America? Right in our own back yard, you can go from the frosty tundra of far northern Alaska and Canada, all the way down to the North American Desert of the western United States and Mexico. Throw some forests and mountains in there for good measure, like in the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains, and the fact that there are 423 national parks (63 of those are the bigger ones that are more well-known like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Joshua Tree) in the United States alone – the United States is a great place to get out and explore.
With many employees working from home, it’s a great idea to encourage your teammates to enjoy the great outdoors! We compiled a list of six products that would be perfect on their own or as a gift basket to motivate your teammates to take a (literal) hike.
