I've hiked thousands of miles in all sorts of terrain.
From the deserts of southern California, to the pine forests of 1️⃣ Colorado, I've hiked in just about every clime and place! Part of what I enjoy about hiking is the competitive 1️⃣ feeling I get from it.
From time to time, I like to race my hiking partners (or myself) to see how 1️⃣ much faster I am at getting to a given objective.
This element kind of makes it seem like hiking is a 1️⃣ sport.
But is hiking a sport? Despite the competitive nature that you may have with yourself or your hiking buddies, hiking 1️⃣ is not truly a sport.
