Hiking is an outdoor activity which consists of walking in natural environments often in mountainous. People often hike on hiking trails. It is such a popular activity that there are many hiking organizations worldwide.

Many people say they go hiking because they love to walk outdoor without necessarily having a destination(目的地) ahead of them.

Some people add another reason for hiking to the basic one of loving to be outdoors. They see hiking as not only mentally healthy for clearing the mind but also physically healthy as great exercise for the body. Unlike some other more exercise programs hiking can be an activity for almost anyone in reasonably good health. Hiking is good exercise and can be a workout and a time of enjoyment at the same time.

Some people who hike on a regular basis give little thought to the exercise part of the activity. These people are more likely to go hiking because they are exploring nature. They may be interested in the trees or the rocks Perhaps they are interested in looking at the birds or the various animals that lodge in the forest or the park.
