A hiking vacation is the best way to have a thrilling and memorable vacation at the same time. You can either go alone or bring your family with you. Either way you will definitely enjoy it.
Hiking vacations offer a multitude of adventure that is always different for each hike. You get to enjoy the beautiful scenery and be one with Mother Nature.
Pick A Spot
When looking for the ideal hiking spot, you have an assortment of locations to choose from. You can decide to hike through a certain part of the woods or go on a hiking trail that has been hiked on by hiking enthusiasts. There are woods that have cleared trails which have been used as a walking trail.
If you are feeling adventurous, why not try to make your own hiking path. You can go in the woods and look for an uncleared trail. A note of caution here is that before going on a hike in an uncleared trail, you should notify your family, friend or relative of the place and time you are going hiking. At least someone will be able to notify the authorities in case you do get lost. Rest assured that whether you do take the path well-traveled or the unexplored path, you will have a great experience in the end.
What To Pack
Be sure that you take very important and necessary items with you if you do plan to take a hiking vacation. On the other hand, do not overburden your load since you do have to carry all of it on your back.
Dress depending on the weather. Wear light layered clothes if it is warm and thick layered clothes if it is cold. Bring along a light blanket for any emergency.
Bring along matches that you have placed in a waterproof bag or container. Pack a couple of light snacks so that you won't get hungry and feel light-headed while hiking.
Bring lots of water. Dehydration can occur during hiking, and taking frequent stops to drink water keeps you hydrated. Plain old water is the best drink during hiking so keep those sodas and sweet drinks at home.
Bring a camera. Hikers are often privy to the beauty of nature and its wildlife, especially those in uncleared trails in the wood. Take pictures of these as mementos of your hike. Later, you can look at them again when you are in the comfort of your own home and even in the company of your loved ones.
Finally, you will need something to dry yourself or your gear off from time to time. A lightweight, microfiber drying towel comes in handy for many things, without the bulk of traditional cotton towels. And it won't get moldy at the bottom of your backpack if it is fast drying.
The Hiking Novice
Whatever you wish to call yourself as a hiking beginner, it is best if you take things at a slow pace. Take someone hiking with you over the weekend so that you can get the feel of it. If possible choose someone that has had experience in hiking so that you can ask for a couple of tips including the best locations to go hike alone or with family and friends. Ask other hikers for their tips based on personal experiences.
After a few hiking trips, you will surely be eager to schedule your next hiking vacation.
