Take a Hike: Tips for Hitting the Trail


Taking a nice hike is a great way to exercise and reconnect with nature. Before you go, it's important to know these helpful tips:

1. Tell someone the details of your trip: where you're going, who with, how long, etc.

2. Map out the trail so you know where you're going and how to get back.

3. Check the weather and bring appropriate clothing. Wear brightly-colored clothing so you can easily be spotted.

4. Keep a compass and a first-aid kit.

5. If you get lost, stay calm and find open and high ground.
