Why Do You Hike?

Now hiking is almost a religion to me- any peak is my church. ADK

Well understood. Nice to have folks like you out in the forest.

Why do I hike?

For the exhilaration.

This seems like too obvious an answer, but after thinking about it for a while, it is the one I keep coming back to.

Since this keeps coming back up to the top . . .

The more I think about this question, the more I'm inclined to think I hike to get away from people who wonder -- and ask -- why I hike.

I just love to be up there in the mountains hiking with my family. The views also motivate me a ton.

Peace, serenity, spirituality, being close to nature, camorade of friendships, challenge, adventure, memories and so, so much more.
