  3. Hiking is different from walking on a paved path or a treadmill. It involves more, sometimes surprising, elements. These elements are what make it joyful and fun. Here are some tips and tricks for a successful first trek.  Start small with a trail suitable to your fitness level Gather more information about the trail Pack the essentials Perform weather checks Hiking For Beginners: Tips

  4. The hike you choose should be a little shorter than the distance you can walk normally. To calculate the time you’ll take to complete the trail, consider an average speed of 2 miles per hour. After that, identify the changes in elevation on your chosen path. For every 1000 feet of elevation, add an hour to the approximate hiking time. In one or two hikes, you will know the distance and elevation changes right for you.  Start small with a trail suitable to your fitness level

  5. After selecting the trail, bring a map of the area. Study reviews and data available on online resources. Extract information to know whether the trail is a loop or you need to backtrack. In certain cases, you may have to leave an additional car. Moreover, carefully read the map to identify any intersecting trails that can confuse you.   Gather more information about the trail

  6. Prepare a list of essentials and head out to a store to buy outdoor sporting equipment and accessories in Medford. These essentials are needed to keep you safe in the outdoors. The quantity of the essentials will depend on the length and remoteness of your hike. For instance, a compact emergency blanket is sufficient for a short summer hike near services. However, if you are off for a remote winter hike, you need something more extensive.  Pack the essentials

  7. For a few days before the hike, check the weather of the area you intend to visit. Use this useful information to decide what to wear and what to pack.    Perform weather checks
