Who likes mountain hiking and climbing?

Post by The Jason »

I grew up in the mountains and have always loved it. I like to see the nature and I also enjoy the exercise.

Note: I'm referring to mountain hiking only; I haven't tried mountain climbing.

Never really done them, but with a good walking stick I give it a go.

I don't live near the mountains so I've never climbed a mountain before. I'm probably not in the best of shape for that either though so I'll pass lol.

I grew up in the mountains, too—hiking’s the best. I love the nature, peace, and solid workout it gives.

I've only ever hiked in the Smoky Mountains which are not as high and rugged as others.

It's my dream to one day get over to Colorado and hike a 14er which is a 14,000+ foot elevation mountain. It's not easy but it's a goal many hikers adopt.

I'm hoping to get the change to try it next year at some point.
