JOIN A HIKING CLUB

This can make the hike much more interesting. The club usually has a leader of the hike who will point out interesting things along the way. If you are not familiar with the trails, it is always good to go with a group and a leader who is an experienced hiker.

ALL FAMILY MEMBERS CAN JOIN IN ON THE HIKE

Even your little children will love to go along on a hike, providing the walk is not too far for them. You can always start out on short hike – some clubs will have a one-mile hike, five-mile hike, ten-mile hike and even more.

You might want to carry a small “fanny pack” with you in order to be able to carry all your snacks, etc. The only other cost involved would probably be the gas to get you to the hiking starting point.
