In reply to TrekkerTom. Good point, Tom. Naismith’s rule usually adds 30 mins for every 1000 ft up. Not perfect but a decent thumb rule.

In reply to EarlyRiser. Early? No way, evening hikes are where it’s at. Cooler and less people around.

It’s interesting how weather changes the hiking experience so much. A sunny day versus a misty morning offers such different vibes.

Oh yeah, just pick an easier route, why didn’t I think of that while climbing Everest?

Wearing good footwear can’t be stressed enough. Saved me from so many potential rolled ankles.

rest every 2 hours is my jam. Why rush? The mountain ain’t going anywhere!

never though about altitude affecting my hiking. guess that’s why i’m always out of breath up hills lol.

Hike before breakfast? So, chase a deer till it’s brunch time? Got it.

starting early is the best! you get the trails all to yourself. Peace and quiet, nothing beats that.

Packing light is key for sure, but don’t skimp on essentials. Balance is everything, trusts me.

i love hiking in all weather but rain makes it so special, anybody else feels the same or just me?

Hey, got a q about Naismith’s rule. How does it adjust for real steep hills? Feel like it’s a bit optimistic for mountains.
