Hiking is a great way to spend time with loved ones or find solitude while giving your body a heart-pumping cardiovascular workout.
Every year, there comes a point when the first wave of warm weather melts the long deep winter freeze, revealing signs that spring is just around the corner. It's this time of year that the urge comes to get up and head out to your local woods or nature area and walk around. The only way to get rid of this subconscious demand is to go out for a day hike.
