On busy days it's just not that easy to step outside and touch some grass. When time gets away from you, the sounds of nature can reduce stress and bring you back to baseline. Nature ambience is great for relaxing, meditation, sleeping and waking up to.

This is one hour of relaxing creek ambience recorded in Upper Bidwell Park. The gentle stream sound was filmed on Big Chico Creek in Chico, California. This is Alligator Hole where just after the sun went down, we ran into some otters feeding.
