Hiking:
This class got me thinking about how i want to hike more often. I hadn't really been hiking before this class and i did take a short 2 hour hike during the span of this semester. The hiking went along with camping and i realized that while i really like hiking i do not enjoy camping at all. It is because of this that i don't think that i could take these long distance hikes such at the AT or the el camino even though i think i would enjoy the hiking aspect very much. I really enjoy the physical activity of the hike and because i rarely get to go out in nature it is a really nice change of pace for me. It makes me wonder if people do through hikes while not participating in the camping portion. being picked up and taken to hotels or something like that every night. I know this probably seems very lame to most hikers but realistically i think that would be the only way that i would do one of those long distance hikes.
I am really glad that i took this course because the main thing i got out of it was a want to go out and do short hikes more often. I live in tysons corner in northern virginia and i know there are a few trails around and now i will definitely go to them when i head home after graduation.
