There's no easier way to get lost in the woods than to simply throw on those hiking boots and hit the trail. If you decide to climb a mountain, regardless of its height, you will sweat. However, almost anyone in reasonably fit condition can tackle peaks of less than 4,000 feet. In your day pack, always carry at least one 32-ounce bottle of water and nuts, raisins or trail mix for a quick boost of energy.Far more strenuous are multiday trekking and mountaineering trips that traverse some of the most isolated areas of the world, such as the Himalayas, where you'll go backpacking at elevations of 10,000 to 15,000 feet. Conditioning is far more important. |
