I have to hike miles up hill in the snow barefoot to get to my car you young whippersnapper.

I have hiked parts of the AT but lately (due to time restrictions called "work") I am limited to the Berkshires.

Actually we just got back from Saratoga. While there we stayed and hiked in the Adirondack Mts. We canoed 2.5 miles, hiked 2.5 miles to a waterfall(near Upper Ausable Lake of all places), hiked back down the Mountain and canoed the 2.5 miles across echo Lake and back to the Lodge.

We had not hiked in many years and it was a neat experience. It did "eat into" our time at the races, but it was priceless to see "fresh bear tracks" along the trail.....

I live in a fantastic area for hiking, yet I never get the chance to (time restraints). Would love to start though.

water (lots of it), layered clothing and/or sunblock, lug soled shoes.

something to eat if you're going out for a few hours.

now you're ready.
