Where are my hikers at?!

So I'm not a huge fan of the gym but I do love getting out on the trails. What was your most recent hike everybody? Mine today Picacho Peak in Santa Fe, New Mexico. 1,400 feet elevation (starting at 7,000 feet) and about 4 miles round trip. Nothing too long and exciting but I'm slowly getting stronger every day!

Wow nice work!! Since we are in Florida at the moment and I hike with my two black dogs we are just doing short hikes due to the insane heat, but I grew up in the mountains and have hiked my whole life, including backpacking. Once it cools off we will take it further here!

I hike mostly with dogs, so at least for now, my long/big climbs are behind me. But I certainly do enjoy being in the woods.

This hiker is melting at home in upper 90s, no AC, and "dangerous, unhealthy" air quality ratings due to wildfire smoke from Canada. Relief is in site this weekend! I did find a very nice Camelback lumbar pack with water reservoir on sale at Sierra Trading Post. It will be great day hikes this time of year when you don't need a lot of extra clothes but need ample water and room for lunch.

I am so jealous of everyone who can just go for a hike in the mountains whenever they want. I'm in an urban, very flat city. I love hiking, but can only really do it when I'm on vacation. The local forest preserves here are...eh...no substitute to put it lightly.

But, when I do get out of town, my favorite places to hike are the North Cascades, Canadian Rockies, and Door County, Wisconsin!

Just finished hiking Cape Scott a couple weekends ago. Was amazing and I already can't wait to go again next summer, and hopefully it will be faster.

Just did Dale Ball! 4.5 miles, 65 stories, 1,200 calories, 30 minute mile pace. It's was rough in the heat!

I know the feeling. I spent most of my life in the city and I have never been happier since I moved up into the mountains. I'm a travel nurse, so only got a few more weeks here. Got to make the most of it!

At 59, getting back in shape has been very challenging. But I do love hiking and it's helping me get back into shape! I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have recently moved to the East Bay. My hiking bestie Kait and I been exploring the all the wonderful hiking trails here. 25lbs down!

Love hiking and backpacking. Just don't do it much anymore.

Not as enjoyable as b4 because I prefer solitude on the trail and there just seem to be too many people on the trails now, just like there are too many cars on the roads.

The truly remote locations that I love best are just too far away. Will see if I can make time for a true wilderness trek sometime b4 winter.

Florida girl, I love hiking with my dogs, but too hot in the summer. Looking forward to cooler weather, I will be out on the trails again.

I'm a mad keen hiker, currently training for the Everest Base Camp trek in 4 weeks time! Am doing 2 hours a day, 6 days a week with a total of 1200m ascent/descent each time, carrying a 20kg pack for conditioning. It's really hard but I figure it will have me in good shape for the actual trip

Sounds like we are in the same boat does the Agility in your username stand for dog agility?!

Mt. Mitchell, NC. 6,684 ft elevation. Up and over, 26 miles in one day. It took us 14 hours and we finished after dark.

We just got home from a couple of days camped at a state park in northern PA, Promised Land. I did a 10 mile hike yesterday, and a 7.7 mile trail run there the day before. The two days before that were an attempt to backpack the Pinchot Trail, but the trail was in such bad shape we gave up after only 10 miles. My husband especially does not enjoy tripping over rocks he can't see because the brush has completely buried the trail. I don't much enjoy listening to him complain about said overgrown trail. The state park was in much better shape, for the most part.
