You like to hike and you like to travel. You’re a special kind of hiker, a Traveling Hiker. 

Traveling hikers have a spirit of adventure, a natural curiosity about people and places far from home, a sense of humor that enables them to take every curve in the road in stride and a young-at-heart spirit common to active people of all ages and stages of life. 

They also share a love of nature, an appreciation of the green world and a desire to stay active and healthy while participating in a kind of travel that challenges body and mind. 

Hiking alone or with company is strictly a matter of personal preference. Each way has much to recommend it.

Some newcomers begin hiking with a group until they gain a measure of confidence and then choose to go solo.

Other newbies start walking solo then discover they enjoy sharing the way with a particular trail buddy, a group of hiking companions, or a whole hiking club. Many hikers like to alternate between hiking with friends and family and hiking solo.
