13 Best U.S. Resorts for Reconnecting With Nature — Hot Springs, Hiking Trails, and Open-air Massages Included [ Travel+Leisure | Stephanie Vermillion, June 10, 2022 ]
Henry Paulson, former U.S. Treasury Secretary and founder of the Paulson Institute says, “…one thing we know is that if you do not put a value on it [ nature ], its value is zero…. People will look at protecting nature as a luxury. That it is a niche… [ rather ] it is the foundation for our economy.” We do not think nature has no value — much to the contrary. Much of the world’s natural environments are at risk, even when natural ecosystems like the Keweenaw are foundational to the economy. We have put a price on nature through our resort activities, and focusing on cabin guests and their experiences with nature.
We are not alone in this thinking. The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge is listed in good company with fellow resorts that value nature and allow guests to connect with nature.
