Hiking is my passion. I spend 18 weekends a year finding new adventures where I can hike and backpack for a few hours or a few days. Being in the wilderness I find peace and my inner thoughts. Having the right equipment and gear while on my trek is important and can save my life.
When choosing a hike in Arizona or any surrounding state that I can get to in a night drive, I do a lot of research into the difficulty of the trail, terrain, if the trail is maintained and if I need to download a map before because there is a lack of service for my phone.
Finding the right information and enough information makes my hikes smooth. If I’m planning on hitting a trail that could have weather issues or flooding, it’s good to know that I need to be aware and prepared.
Plan your hiking trips ahead of time. Be ready for anything and our adventure will come out the best.
P.S. Don’t forget the camera – you’ll want to share with your couch potato friend later!
