HIKING HORROR OR
HIKING HAVEN?
Most of us have experienced
a friend or family member recommending a 'hot hiking spot' to us,
only to find that their Hiking Haven is our Hiking Horror.
Climate, current sky and wind
conditions, the time of the year, the natural things that may be
currently affecting the area, and the hiker's current state of mind all
play into the big hiking picture.
In most areas in the great
USA, spring and fall are very generous to the hiker.
Fall foliage,
spring wildflowers - these are natural beauties that the hiker
will generally run across.
However, depending on the area of the
country, summer can be blazing-hot and akin to a Journey to Hell.
Winter presents slippery trails, blocked trails and basically bare
trails (the real bears are generally hibernating....).
Therefore,
plan your hiking adventure well and do a bit of research beforehand.
State parks are one of your best sources of free information.
