7 Reasons to go Hiking


Hiking is a simple activity with many benefits. Recently I've been exploring local hiking trails, slowly building up my experience. Hiking reconnects you with nature, giving you a sense of humility and appreciation for what nature provides for us.



1: Exercise: Hiking is a great way to get an all body workout. Your trail can be long and vigorous, or short and mild. The choice is yours.

2: Beautiful Scenery:  Most hiking trails have scenic views or interesting plant and wildlife. Perfect for those with an interest in photography.

3: Family:  Hiking is a wonderful family activity. It gets everyone out and moving, and creates many precious memories.

4: Adventure:  Hiking can be a great adventure. You never know what special sight or experience you'll come across.

5: Fresh Air:  While this is a great companion for exercise, fresh air in itself is a wonderful motivator to hike.

6: Contemplation:  Hiking is a beneficial way to turn the brain away from the everyday hustle, to ponder.

7: Its Cheap!:  Besides basic safety items and equipment, the only thing you need for hiking are feet!
