What do you consider hiking?

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Greetings. I just walked 4.5 miles on a “hiking trail.” I had with me only my parents and my dog. To me it was more of going for a walk. Yes we were in woods, but does hiking generally mean carrying a backpack or a bunch of gear with you? What’s the deal here?

Hiking in Virginia?

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

I am planning a hiking trip in the south western part of Virinia. I want to hike in the mountains, however, I do not want an extremly difficult hike or a easy one. Can anyone suggest a trail that goes through the mountains and is maybe a loop, because i am only planning on a day hike. I would like to hike for at least 6 - 10 hours. I am having difficulty finding trails in the area that let you know if they go through mountains and how high you hike. Thanks for any help.

Best hiking shoes/boots/whatever for women?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I’m moving to a mountain area pretty soon and want to spend a lot of time hiking…I’ve never done more than a few hours though and always in sneakers. I want to invest in some good footwear for this but I’ve no idea what to get. I’ve heard trail running shoes are more comfortable than boots but that the latter have better ankle support. So any advice (especially from those with size 9 1/2 W feet) would be greatly appreciated!

Hiking in the nude, is it legal or not?

Monday, September 14th, 2009

If I’m hiking in the nude on a deserted logging road in wilderness areas, where I never see anyone, would this be illegal? I would cover up if I saw a person in the distance.

Are we all hitch-hiking souls?

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

I know it’s a romantic notion, but I thought it kind of curious that I’ve always felt Italian inside, only to find out my, erm, point of embarkment on life’s journey was Livorno.
Could it be that we are merely “hitch hiking souls”?

Good, comfortable, sturdy hiking boots?

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

I work as a wildlife biologist and go through hiking boots like crazy. I do a lot of walking on sandy soil, as well as hard packed dirt, and thrash through vegetation as well. It seems they do not make a sturdy, yet comfortable hiking boot for women. Any suggestions? Good brands, etc.? Preservation tips?
