Hike Your Own Hike

Welcome To My Hiking Page

This page is here to share a hobby of mine which is hiking.

I have thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail and am planning to hike the Oregon Desert Trail.

Leave No Trace

When hiking I follow the 7 principles of Leave No Trace to reduce my impact on the environment.

  1. Plan ahead and prepare
  2. Travel and camp on durable surfaces
  3. Dispose of waste properly
  4. Leave what you find
  5. Minimize campfire impact
  6. Respect wildlife
  7. Be considerate of other visitors
