TAKE A HIKE!

It might look like a great idea on paper, but let’s be honest….

WHY!?

Of course, I’m being facetious in downplaying the joy and health benefits of this most popular pastime, and know it’s intended as a backhanded nod to the importance of ‘each to their own’, rather than an all-out thumbs down to outdoor pursuits.

This prerogative to NOT enjoy all the things, all the time, is something that it’s easy to lose sight of, especially in today’s everything-is-amazing culture!

In reality, footslogging for fun is an acquired taste, and one that we’re not obliged to enjoy, nomatter how much the picture perfect face of the #hikerlife suggests we should.
 

Yes, there probably ARE many perks to being a bonafide member of the Alltrails aficionado, but on a cold November day, I’d be inclined to say the lack of coffee shops isn’t one of them!
