Pull on your hiking boots and take the family on a hike! Webster's dictionary definition of hike is a long walk especially for pleasure or exercise. So hiking can mean different things depending on your ability. It is a great way to enjoy nature and can be lots of fun. How about picking some wild flowers along the way or drinking spring water directly from the spring?
