Hiking project day 1 : trip planning

I am doing a 4h book on hiking so I am going to put the info I learn on here.


Day hike planning checklist.

When are you going? 

 How are you getting there?

 Who is going?

 Where will you go?


 This is very important to give to someone in case you get lost or hurt they will know were you are.  What type of gear do you need and food for the day hike. What time of year will effect what type of equipment you will need.  Are you going to somewhere you have already been in or a new area. Why do you want to go on this hike? I hike because I enjoy  the views at the top of mountains and the psychical exercise.

Hike up Mount cokley

Yesterday, I went up Mount Cokely with one of the hiking group members who's name is Ron. I have very badly wanted to go up the mountain because I can see it from town. After, I climbed Mount Arrowsmith I could see it's sister mountain Cokely. It was a very sunny day so I could see a long distance. We could see lots of people from the top of the mountain.
