Whether it's hiking, fishing or back-country skiing, the great outdoors provides a breath of fresh air in these turbulent times due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Jim Klug is a fly fisherman in Montana who says that being on a river always brings inner peace and calmness.

The co-owner of a fishing travel business added that people forget how amazing the wilderness is right in their own backyard.
