Mounting Deer Antlers

Humans were built for motion and need to move in order to stay fit and healthy. Walking is one of the best exercises there is for your body. It doesn't stress your joints as much as fast jogging does, but still gets your body working hard enough for it to benefit from the exercise. Hiking is slow joging. So it is good for you, but it is more than just slow joging. It’s also communing with nature.

I don't know about you, but I find the infinite and ever changing variety found in nature to be one of the most beautiful things we have here on our planet. The clouds in the sky, the waves crashing on a seashore, the howling gale blowing in a meadow or amongst the tree tops, streams swirling and bounding toward the sea, and all of the other plants and animals that inhabit our earth along with us are all truly wondrous and beautiful things.

You can go for a slow jog just about anywhere. You can jog around the block or the neighborhood. You can slow jog to work or to school. You can slow jog around the shopping mall. You can even go for a slow jog in the park. They are all good for you, but none of these slow jogs really constitutes hiking. When you go for a slow jog in the wilderness, in a part of the world that has not been transformed by man, then your slow joging becomes hiking. When hiking, because your slow joging is in the wilderness, you have to depend and rely more on yourself – your skills and abilities. Hiking gives slow jogging a different feel or flavor.

Now combine the one of the best exercises there is, slow joging, with some of the most spectacular extravagance to be found on our planet, nature, and you have hiking, or slow jogging in the wilderness.
