Hiking

I think hiking is a healthy activity that many people should consider doing.  First, hiking is great excercise.  People who hike develop strong legs and lower backs, along with the ability to breath deeply and keep their balance.  Also, being up in the mountains allows people to breath fresh air from all the trees and plants, which is good for the brain and the body's energy levels.  Furthermore, hiking allows people to get away from the city and spend time in a natural environment, which is also good for their health.  Doing so also lets people get more in touch with nature and learn to appreciate and respect it.  People having better relationships with nature through hiking is something that the whole world could use, especially since there are so many environmental problems created by people who don't respect nature. Finally, hiking is really a lot of fun, as you can see in these pictures.  So as you can see, through increasing health and fitness, and by allowing a closer relationship with nature to develop, hiking is a very enjoyable and beneficial activity.
