In Honor of Arbor Day, Here Are 17 Photos of Amazing Trees From Around the World

Aside from the air we breathe, trees have provided humanity with shelter and food for millennia. Studies have shown that being around trees improves our mental health, and that cities with lots of trees are happier places.

In honor of Arbor Day, we’ve dipped into our travelstoke app and found some of the coolest spots with trees and forests in the world. Now get outside and plant a tree!

 Willamette National ForestDetroit, United StatesThe surrounding views of the Willamette National Forest at the Breteinbush Hot Springs Center is home to 145 acres of moss filled forests. My girlfriend and I enjoyed two days of soaking in hot mineral spring waters. These springs were bathing suit optional with an open minded community. Vegetarian food, a walking labyrinth, and a variety of wellness classes were a few of the amenities at the retreat center.

 Hotel RilindjaTropojë District, AlbaniaIf you find yourself in Albania, the three day Shkodër/ Valbonë/ Theth loop trek is an absolute must. This sleepy hotel/guesthouse in Valbonë sits in a valley surrounded by farms and the towering Accursed mountains. The location makes it a perfect jump off point for the 6hr hike, over the mountains to the tiny village of Theth. The main house has solid wifi, a great restaurant and a selection of local beers as well as wine.
