No matter where you are in the world, hiking is always one of the best ways to explore an area. A way to feel the true raw environment as you climb a path up a mountain peak, or trek through a forest so thick it blocks out the sun. A way to gain a connection to what the land used to look like before being altered by civilizations. A way to discover landscapes you thought were only possible in movies and TV. Hiking is so much more than walking through the wilderness; it’s a way to experience the open wonder of nature.
