GET STARTED
Determining what level of hiker you are can be an
important tool when
planning future hikes. This hiking level guide will help
you plan hikes
according to different hike ratings set by various
websites like All Trails and
Modern Hiker. What type of hiker are you – novice,
moderate, advanced
moderate, expert, or expert backpacker?
Hiking Essentials
The nice thing about beginning hiking is that you don’t
really need any
special gear, you can probably get away with things you
already have.
Let’s start with clothing. A typical mistake hiking
beginners make is wearing
jeans and regular clothes, which will get
heavy and chafe wif they get sweaty or wet.
where you go is the key
To start, print out the hiking guide and map. If it’s
raining, throw them in a
Zip-Lock bag. Read over the guide, study the map, and
have a good idea
of what to expect. I like to know what my next landmark
is as I hike. For
example, I’ll read the guide and know that say, in a
mile, I make a right turn
at the junction..
