Hiking is one of the most accessible outdoor activities, but conditions can shift quickly—temperature, wind, and visibility often change more with elevation and exposure than people expect.
Many common problems on hikes (blisters, dehydration, wrong turns) are preventable with planning, steady pacing, and simple checks like confirming your route at junctions.
