My first time hiking anything more than a simple trail was on my trip to Patagonia. I learned quite a bit on that trip and that serves as the basis for these hiking tips. First, it served to reinforce how much I love being outdoors, second, it reminded me how important it is to be prepared before a hike, and third, just how delicious beer tastes right after.

The most recent hiking trip I did was in Sedona and those were some of the most rewarding hikes I’ve ever done. Check out my guide to Sedona here. Disclaimer: I by no means consider myself an expert hiker but I do have plenty of hiking tips for beginners that will make your outdoor adventure…
