How to Prepare for a Hiking Trip


hiking is a great way to get exercise
while enjoying the outdoors hi I’m
Veronica watchmojo.com and today we’re
looking at some things to take into
consideration for your next hiking trip
in your opinion how do we start planning
for a hiking trip well I think you wanna
think about what’s important for you for
what you want to see I mean some people
go out on these trips because they want
a really strenuous hike and so you can
plan your trips that way some people are
more interested in kind of going for a
nice walk but then seeing things that
are also just in the area I think it’s
something that you find out for yourself
a little bit we’ve really targeted the
book towards not necessarily the really
hardcore hiker but you know a really
broad range of people a couple who wants
to start hiking what should they think
about discuss between yourselves what
you want to see I think two different
people are going to two different ideas
of what they want to see all these hikes
offer something different when we’ve
tried to identify what those are so pick
something that you’re get excited about
and then see how you do on it now these
trails for family with children as well
as couples absolutely I mean we set up a
lot of easier shorter hikes for people
with families and things that will keep
the kids interested as well the
attention spans not always as long so we
try to keep guided hikes where there’s
lots of information for them things to
look at so once you have your book what
other gear do you need before beginning
a hike there’s basically a checklist of
gear that you want to go through
probably the most important is your
Footwear and getting a pair of great
hiking boots and something that’s
comfortable for you and beyond that I
think it’s important to dress for the
weather and really assess how the
conditions may change if you’re doing
something where you might be climbing a
lot the weather may be a lot different
at the top of the mountain of the bottom
so bring proper gear that way make sure
you bring enough water or food if it’s
going to be a longer hike all these
trails are located in British Columbia
Canada what is it about this province
that lends itself to this type of
vacation the diversity bc one of the
reasons we chose it was you get such a
range of different trips i mean you can
do something really strenuous where
you’re up in the Rockies with kuta knees
and getting up and seeing these glacial
lakes in these mouth
pops and stuff that few people get a
chance to see normally we also walks in
the Okanagan Valley where you can walk
through vineyard tours we have locks in
urban Vancouver we’ve tried to set it up
so there’s something for everyone in
there get out there and see as much as
you can I mean it’s great to explore and
find out what it is that excites you
it’s gonna be different for everybody
but the great thing about bc is that
there is something for everybody out
there
