Soft Hiking - Walking, Observing, Appreciating
Today I came across the concept of Soft Hiking. Unlike Hot girl Hiking soft hiking is about just going out for a walk. It’s about getting moving, no matter your level of ability, or fitness. it’s about getting into the habit of not sitting around.
They write about looking at nature, stopping for a snack or to sit on a bench, to enjoy being outdoors rather than indoors.

I am part of the problem. I am one of the reasons for which people want “soft hiking”. I am part of the problem because I walk fast, because I like to move fast and efficiently over challenging terrain. I find that up to 3000m I am a fast walker, compared to many, but that after 3000m of altitude I slow down and become normal.
