Hiking

My passtime hobby

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.[1] Long hikes as part of a religious pilgrimage have existed for a much longer time. "Hiking" is the preferred term in Canada and the United States; the term "walking" is used in these regions for shorter, particularly urban walks. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the word "walking" describes all forms of walking, whether it is a walk in the park or backpacking in the Alps. 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). Kenya offers diverse hiking and trekking opportunities, ranging from easy forest walks to challenging mountain climbs. Popular destinations include Ngong Hills, Karura Forest, Hell's Gate National Park, and Mount Longonot, along with the more challenging Mount Kenya and Aberdare ranges.
