HPL Recommends: Yes, You Can Hike Too!
Living in the Bay Area, it seems like everybody loves to hike... but maybe you don't? Maybe you just don't feel like you know what you're doing, or you have kids you need to bring along, or you have creaky knees or you're differently abled... there are tons of reasons why you might be more "indoorsy" than outdoorsy. But if you want to give it a try anyway (maybe the peer pressure is getting to you, or maybe you're just curious?), we can help. Check out these guides to hiking for beginners, anxious folks, and folks for whom it's just a little harder.
