Day Hiking

Day Hiking is becoming more popular with campers of all ages. Anyone capable of walking long distances can certainly do this. A day hikers’ objective is to hike or walk for the day and return to the place of origin that same day, usually as night approaches their campsite.

Besides being able to walk long distances, you must also be ready for any weather conditions as well as having the right tools and techniques needed so you can find the right route back to your campsite.

One very important thing in hiking is selecting the correct footwear. Because hiking is defined as walking which simply means being “on your feet”, you must purchase footwear designed specifically for hiking and that primarily give your feet comfort while walking. Never purchase footwear solely based on how good they look.

Many are attracted to this "sport" because every individual sets their own objective then strives hard to achieve it; this undertaking requires some commitment and planning.
