Benefits of hiking
Hiking is an activity that everyone can enjoy regardless of fitness level. A regular brisk walking routine can greatly reduce your chances of heart problems and offers numerous benefits including muscle strength, bone density, improved circulation, weight loss and lowering blood pressure. In addition, walking together as a social activity gives us quality time and critical social connection in our lives, be it with friends or family.
Teaching the next generation about nature and wildlife is also an important aspect of local trails. Kids will marvel and delight at seeing new plants and animals on the trail, as well as traversing bridges and stopping at scenic lookouts.
