How to Get More Enjoyment From Your Hiking Trip

For those who don't know, I am an avid hiker.  When spring comes that's one of the first things I am thinking about.  I have a couple favourite spots but I always like to find new ones.  There are plenty to be had where I live in the form of conservation areas.  Some people I talk to just hate the idea of it or it simply doesn't interest them.  Well, there are ways to turn a simple hike into something more rewarding and help get the most enjoyment out of it.

First Hike of the Season

Lets face it, winters in Canada suck. If you don't have any winter hobbies then you are just counting the days for spring when the weather breaks and you can go outside without heavy gear. or me I am waiting for that show to melt and the sun to come out because I love the outdoors. Hiking, fishing, camping, bird watching, even picking wild mushrooms.
