First off, wow! Thank you! I feel like I should have paid for that information haha. I want to take hikes in the spring time and give myself February/march-ish to save up for all the equipment I’m going to need! I’m a little nervous, but I feel that I’ll have more fun than not! I already love doing outdoors activities, so I can’t see myself not loving hiking. I think I was just a bit intimidated! I can’t thank you enough for this information- I literally took notes! (you also mentioned a perfect reason to help convince my roommates why we need a dog ). Thank you!
If you would like to share, I’d love to hear some of your stories/adventures!
