How Far?

[Zack]

How far is your average hike? As for me, there's trails and woods all around my place, and I'm usually out at least once per week. I'll usually hike out a mile or two, then turn around and come back. I'm not the spring chicken I used to be, and this heat wears me out. But I enjoy it.

What ever gives you the peace and relaxation you are looking, that's what you do! It can be mile or ten. The whole point is getting out there...period. I don't nearly get out as much as I'd like to. But when I do I usually over do my hikes a bit and bite of a little too much. The next day I'm hobbling around trying to recuperate. Lately I have been knocking out a small 3.5 milers with my new puppies at least once a week, weather permitting, some times twice.

I take my kids on a lot of hikes and we don't hike over a mile. When I hike with adults, we hike for a couple of miles. If we plan longer hikes then we have to carry a backpack with supplies. I prefer to take shorter hikes.

We have three dogs who love to be taken on a trek but one of them is a little loopy and if she decides that she has gone far enough she will sit and refuse to move. If we want to go further, we have to carry her!:tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Leave her there and walk off, she'll fallow :tinysmile_tongue_t:.

Not sure how far I go honestly, I go until I'm tired (few hours) depending on terrain.

Most of the time I hike to a destination, top of a mountain, hill, a clearing etc. So I rarely actually pay attention to the distance, it's more about the journey and the things I see rather than the distance.
