Fresh air, beautiful landscapes, alone or with friends, hiking is a way
to connect to nature just as much as it is an effective way to
excersize. There are hiking trails in almost every city and depending on
your level of hiking experience, you can climb a mountain if that is
your goal! One of my favorite places to hike is in California at Henry
Cowell State Park. There are trails for every level of hiker. Some of
the Redwood trees and Douglas firs are over a hundred feet tall and over
a thousand years old. It is a magnificent place to listen to the birds,
the riverflow, and the silence of the trees... just beware of mountain
lions!
