Footprints...lets go to Alaska in August?The peace, the fresh air and the challenge. I like everything there is about hiking, but finding a less traveled, challenging hike is a perfect day to me.
I agree! Just being able to make your own way at your own pace. Being able to sit somewhere you find relaxing and kick back for a while. That's when I boil up some water for coffee and light up a cigar...as long as I'm alone that is.There is much to like and enjoy about hiking. What do you enjoy the most about it? For me, I like the idea of travelling at a natural pace on my own steam.
What do I enjoy about it? I enjoy the fact that hiking allows me to be me. The way that God (am I allowed to say "God" in this forum? The word itself has been taken away from my "Pledge Of Allegiance" where I live) intended me to live. Like most folks, it's natural for me to put one foot in front of another. I am grateful and enjoy the fact that I have the ability to do such. I enjoy the sublime feeling of being in nature and hiking a trail, may be easy or difficult. To get the top of a mountain to just be...me I guess. I really enjoy helping trail stewards maintain the trails as well. I use them, why not? My life is very consumed with hiking....and I enjoy it immensely! Oh, and Bud, I agree with going at a natural pace, that's the most enjoyable. Happy trails!There is much to like and enjoy about hiking. What do you enjoy the most about it? For me, I like the idea of travelling at a natural pace on my own steam.
