This Earth Day, you told us these are your favorite places to enjoy nature

Question of the Week

This Earth Day, we asked 9&10 News followers, “What’s your favorite place to enjoy nature?” Some of the people who responded named local places (because it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, if we do say so ourselves!), some picked places out west, and some said anywhere there aren’t people, a sentiment we can certainly relate to.

We’ve rounded up the top answers below, so check it out, you might just find a new favorite place to go! Just don’t all go there at once. ...

WANT TO PARTICIPATE? We’ll post our next Question of the Week on the 9&10 Facebook page on Monday, so be on the lookout for it!
