🥾 Hiking

❤️ Why We Love Hiking: Hiking combines a range of awesome things: It’s an opportunity to exercise while relishing the beauty of nature. It inspires us to explore unknown paths, navigate through different terrains, and capture breathtaking sights. It’s about being one with the great outdoors, disconnecting from our electronic-driven world, and taking in the calmness that nature offers. So, whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a newbie, hiking will always fill your heart and your lungs!

⏳ Hiking History

  • 18th Century: Romantic movement in Europe kindles an interest in nature’s beauty, laying the groundwork for recreational hiking.
  • 19th Century: Establishment of mountaineering clubs like the Alpine Club and Swiss Alpine Club; emergence of hiking culture in the United States driven by transcendentalist movement.
  • Early 20th Century: National parks like Yellowstone and Yosemite founded; infrastructure like marked trails and shelters emerges, including the conception and completion of the Appalachian Trail.
  • 1930s – 1940s: “Hütten” or mountain refuges gain popularity, aiding multi-day treks; Civilian Conservation Corps develops trails and campsites during the Great Depression and World War II.
  • 1960s – 1970s: Rise of environmental awareness boosts hiking popularity; national scenic trails like the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail established.
  • 1980s – 1990s: Significant improvements in hiking gear; concept of “Leave No Trace” principles developed, evolving responsible outdoor ethics.
  • 2000s – Present: Dramatic impact of digital technology and social media on the hiking community; development of “thru-hiking” major trails and challenges like the “Seven Summits”.
