Hiking? Tell us about it.
Of all the activities that have gained traction during this past year, hiking has likely enjoyed the most appreciable upsurge in adherents. Makes sense of course. With the pandemic causing a somewhat seismic shift in our daily lives folks have been pursuing new ways to recreate. Hence the shortage in everything from exercise equipment to travel trailers. And as bipeninsularians who occupy this corner of paradise we are fortunate to be blessed with a veritable plethora of opportunities to ‘take it to the woods’. Beyond the treasure of a trek known as the North Country Trail that meanders through our county and the loops that connect it to other scenic sections there are many more from mini-hikes to more arduous undertakings. And within a short drive beyond our county there are chances to ambulate through some awesome areas from beaches to bogs, rivers to ridges. At N3 we want to hear about your trail tales. Where have you been? What are your favorites? Who do you go with? And more importantly… What has it given you? There are volumes of research touting the bountiful health benefits to be gained from getting outside and moving about and trail hiking fits the bill perfectly for such an experience. We are asking you to share why you hike and what you have learned (if anything) by engaging in this ambulatory activity. Send us your stories (photos strongly encouraged) and we will post our favorites. If you just want to send a photo with a caption we want to see those too. You can use the comment section at the end of this article or send it to us at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you. “The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot”-Werner Herzog
