GREEN PEACE
|
AUGUST 14TH, 2008GREEN PEACEThree words: reduce, reuse, relax. We recently escaped the concrete jungle and curbed our carbon footprint with a green getaway at Kw'o:kw'e:hala. Alongside the coursing waters of the Coquihalla River in Hope, B.C., the eco-friendly retreat is the perfect place to escape your city-life stresses for a weekend and get back in touch with nature (sans the crunchiness of camping). Get cozy in your quaint, private cabin's quilt-covered bed and chow down on gourmet meals made with fresh-from-the-garden organic fruits and veggies. If being active clears your head, borrow a bike for cycling through the nearby Kettle Valley Trail tunnels, take an inner tube down the river or snag a section of sandy bank for yoga. If slowing right down is more your bag, sway in a river-side hammock, soak in the wood-fired hot tub and sweat out toxins and tension in the traditional Finnish sauna. We did it all and felt green with peace. Particularly because nary a paper napkin passed over these lips. View photos, packages and rates at www.eco-retreat.com Got something to add to this dose?
