How To Plan A Hike

Hi! This is Chris and on behalf of expertvillage.com in this clip we are going to talk a little bit about planning a beginning hike trip. Now one of the most important thing about planning your trip is knowing what you need to take. So it is going to depend on the season you are going obviously and can't plan into the further so consider the seasoning you would be planning. I recommend highly that you go to the Internet this provides a great deal of information, I also recommend that you try the MPS government web site for national park service. The Internet could provide you with maps, tropical maps, as well as area maps and also driving direction to where you might be going. From there you can just print it out and start a little packet for yourself for planning your trip. You would need to know how many days you would be going, for food, for gas, and money, as well knowing what season you would in this would help you for choosing you clothing type as well. Even in that case what bag packing you would be taking. Planning you trip is very important, it gives you a good mental picture of where you are going to go and what you are going to be doing. So giving yourself a little extra time to plan is always good so you could remember things you might actually forget. So try to put yourself out a few weeks before you actually go on your hike.
