Take your time on the trail. Hiking presents a great opportunity to relax and think. Hurrying along the trail and becoming too goal-oriented with the process can sometimes take away from the experience.

The main point, though, is to get what you want out of the trail. If you want a physical challenge—to run the trails, time yourself, and attempt to set new records—do it. If you want to take a whole day to hike a few miles, sitting and picnicking and watching the clouds roll by, then you should set aside a day to do just that. Whatever you do, make sure to hike the trail in your own way and make it your experience.

Just as important as it is to never live anyone else’s life, you should never hike anyone else’s trail.
