Take A Hike!

One of our most favorite things to do through the summer months is hike. There aren't many things more satisfying than hauling tail up the side of a mountain to a beautiful view, or cooling off in an alpine lake you worked so hard to get to. It doesn't matter the age or athletic ability, everyone can hike.

There are so many kinds of trails out there to be explored, that even if you are not a seasoned hiker, or have small children with you, you can find a hike you can do. Everything from one mile dirt trail hikes, to 8 mile mountain climbs, can be found in any given area. Even if you live in the middle of the city I guarantee you can find some kind of hike to do in your area.

Load up the kids and head out. The best part? They will expend so much energy on the trail it should be a quiet ride home ;o)
