Hiking, the ideal way to enjoy the Great Outdoors
Hiking is a great way to enjoy the beauty and charm of the great outdoors.
Hiking is a sport that can actually be done year round with the
proper gear and in most any area. From the mountains to the flat
fields an plains hiking is a way to get back in touch with nature.
You can easily leave the stresses of modern day life behind you.
Whether you only have a few hours or you have a few days hiking can
be adjusted to suit your available free time.
If you have time camping is the perfect add on activity. Camp
simply with or with out a tent or use a camper. If sleeping in the
great outdoors is not your style rent a cabin or even stay in a
small hotel near your hiking area. Know the area you are camping in
and follow proper precautions including to be sure any campfires are
extinguished completely. If you must smoke do not throw lit
cigarettes on the ground, extinguish in water. Treat nature with
respect. Be sure to bring a small camera and remember another rule - "Take only memories, leave only footprints."

Hiking around the world
Hiking is common in many parts of the world for both health reasons and
as a way to appreciate and enjoy the outdoors. While many counties
call it hiking or backpacking other countries have some interesting
terms. If you were in New Zealand you would say tramping but in the
United Kingdom it would be hilwalking. Australians are partial to
the term bush wacking and those in India go trekking. Many hikers
who opt for a shorter or more leisurely pace will call it rambling.
What ever term you choose, hiking is a great hobby. It is a great
way to exercise and relax.
We have some suggested hiking gear listed below. Please use the
