Summer and spring hikes boast the
blossoms, mountain laurel, and several other flora. Possibly you will have a
meet with a deer or turkey. Maybe you will be so lucky to see a bear from a
safe distance sauntering down the path in front of you. Autumn colors rule the
landscape of the mountains. The falling leaves on the forest floor crackle in a
disharmony of noise with the living things preparing for the imminent winter. It
is true that summer, spring, and autumn are magnificent times to take a hike. But,
winter can also bring in a lot of enjoyment to trek. Here are few reasons
why you should get out and take a trek this winter.
- We all find an open trail irresistible, but in the warmer months we can only get that in the middle of the week or in the early mornings. The cold weather keeps the crowds out and offers you a private trail. This is your prize - get pleasure from it.
- With the leaves of trees vanished and the tree branches slanted down by snow it gets calm on the trail. If you are feeling any pressure - get prepared for it to thaw away.
- The natural glow the snow offers is a dream of the photographer, enabling you to shoot like a professional, even if you are just snapping pictures on your simple smart phone. In the morning the sunlight usually remains clear and brilliant and this makes taking photographs all the more fascinating.
- Dogs love the snow and the colder weather keeps them from get overheat. It is important to note that unless it is -35 degrees out, they will be all good. Dogs tend to stay amazing in such condition.
- Between the unbalanced ground and the struggle that deep snow creates, your legs will be doing some double propelling. You should always stand by for hiking in deeper snow and cover half as much ground as you usually do. This is good to keep in mind when picking the trail.
- You can pack less water when taking off on a winter trek with snow on the ground. A fast cool off or a refilled water bottle is just a handful of snow away. Just ensure it is all white; however, this applies for shorter treks. If you are out on a longer hike where you will be working hard, be sure to bring lots of water and hydrate in advance.
- You might have a preferred trail you hit several times in summer, but observing it in a new light revives the mind and can renew a love for the outdoors. Trails that result in waterfalls offer the most spectacular change in the winter. Seeing that falling water freezing and hanging off the fall reminds you that life moves quite fast.
