While some will prefer to hike alone, others will enjoy the opportunity it provides to share time with their friends and for the chance to meet new people. Hiking is a mellow, sporty activity that’s non-competitive and doesn’t involve a stopwatch. It brings people together and provides the opportunity to engage and have a conversation without struggling to catch your breath.
