Are you planning on getting out of the house and going hiking? It can really be a fun way to get exercise, get closer to people, and enjoy nature in the process.
If you want to get the most out of hiking make you: 1.
Bring Water Water is such an easy thing to forget, but when you are actually hiking you are going to wish you had remembered.
So before every hike make sure you bring something to drink so you are not "dying" of dehydration.
2.
Keep Going it if you Can There are a number of hikes that will lead you to an overlook of a great canyon, waterfall, or rock structure and only 1.
5 miles further you can get down and see it firsthand.
It is very tempting to just call it quits and leave, but you know you really want to go the whole way.
That is why I believe that you should never walk the shortest trails and call it quits.
It is much more rewarding to go on the long and windy roads.
Imagine how much better it feels to get the end of a 2 mile hike then it does to get to the end of a .
5 mile hike.
And if you are already hiking, you might as well keep it up.
3.
Stay on Trail Stay on the trail, even though it may not look like it, there could always be dangerous animals out there, or you might inadvertently harm an animal or plant.
That is why the trail is there so stay on it.
4.
Enjoy it Hiking is meant to be a fun activity.
Enjoy it!
