Your Guide To Hiking For Beginners

Stephen and Linda love hitting the trail and believe that hiking should be fun, not intimidating. With over 25 years of experience, they have hiked in over 20 National parks and countless state and local parks, from the evergreen trees of the Appalachian mountains to the arid deserts of the south west. Over the years, they’ve learned that the best hikes aren’t about how many miles you cover but about the laughs, snacks, views, and little moments you enjoy along the way. Their goal is to show beginners that hiking doesn’t have to be complicated, you just need curiosity, a good pair of shoes, some basics and a sense of adventure. When they’re not wandering new paths, Stephen can be found editing fun vacation videos or tinkering with his next wood working creation, while Linda brings her love of nature, laughter, and a knack for planning the next perfect adventure. Together, they hope this guide inspires you to get outside, have fun, connect with nature and create your own trail memories.
