I think that other hiking thread is under Other Sports.
I hope to be doing some hiking again, with no snow! Another rider I know asked me to hike with her in some more difficult terrain, as she is training for a Grand Canyon trip. Since I know she is also cautious and slow, I am going to try to get together with her. However, my first commitment is training for my ride in Spain, so a lot of hiking may have to wait until July. The trails are still really wet here, so maybe in a couple of weeks.
