A hike is a long, vigorous walk, usually on trails or footpaths in the
countryside. Walking for pleasure developed in Europe during the
eighteenth century. The word hiking is also often used in the UK, along
with rambling, hillwalking, and fell walking (a term mostly used for
hillwalking in northern England). It is a popular activity with numerous
hiking organizations worldwide, and studies suggest that all forms of
walking have health benefits.
