If you haven’t hiked before, remember to take these essentials with you. It’s important to have the right necessities while simultaneously keeping your load light. Here is a complete checklist of things to include in your backpack:
- Map & Compass (These can be replaced with a GPS but I personally feel that it takes away from the experience.)
- Water Bottles
- Organic Homemade Sunscreen
- Comfortable Hiking Boots
- Trekking Pole
- Hat
- Sunglasses
- Energizing Snacks
Take a Hike
Now, you are completely prepared. You have the power to venture out into to woods, walk through that valley, roam through those hills and reach the top of that mountain. Enjoy this wonderful exercise of exploration
