hiking quotes

I like playing basketball and going to the gym. I don’t box, but I’ll ride my bike and go jogging or running in the park. Sometimes my lady and I go hiking.

If I see a mountain, I just pick up and hike it.

I like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day’s schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

My father considered a walk among the mountains as the equivalent of churchgoing.
