Here are my top twelve hikes for 2016, in no particular order.
This is always such a difficult list to make, since I enjoy each and every one
of my outdoor adventures. Even if it's a trail I've already hiked before, I
still take away something new from it... a new sight, experience, or feeling.
It might be an enhanced connection to the natural world,
learning something new about myself or working out whatever issues I have in my
own head during a solo hike, the look of wonder and joy on the faces of my
children as they explore, and of course the comradery of an adventurous group;
who might just find themselves in an unexpected situation while taking an
alternate route. Keep calm and hike on!
