I am hiking again after a 30 year hiatus and I have a set of hiking poles I want to use well when I mountain climb. Any suggestions for getting up to speed? Also, suggestions about when and when not to use them? I want to save my knees. Also I’d appreciate suggestions about good web sites to visit or training programs. Thanks!

Do you have any fun camping, hiking and travel recipes for Summer snacks?
My family is planning a lot of camping, hiking and local travel to recreation areas this Summer. I am wanting to put together a list of ideas and recipes for some easy fun trail mixes, camping, hiking and travel food that my children can help me prepare.. Snacks and foods that carry easy with little to no mess or a lot of clean up, store easy and won’t melt or go bad fast in the Summer heat… Kid friendly snacks would be great! Thank you in advance.. Have a great Summer!
What hiking trails are really open during winter times in Seattle area?
Hi!
The Mountain Loop Hwy is closed, so many of the hiking trails are out of reach. Many people said the Boulder River Trail is great this time of the year but it’s not: I’ve been there twice now and there is too much snow.
Are there any trails in winter (untill May) still open? I don’t mind driving a few hours.
Thanks!

What is the difference between hiking boots and work boots? Will hiking 7 miles in work boots hurt my feet?
I am going on a trip to Canada and will be hiking around 7 miles a day. I have a cheap pair of work boots that are broken in fairly nicely. Will these be sufficient? They seem like they would but, they are steel toe and don’t look anything like a pair of hiking boots. If not where can I find a fairly nice cheap pair of hiking boots?

hiking…..?
A father came home from a long business trip to find his young son riding a brand new bike.
“Where did you get the money for that?” he asked. “It must have cost over 300 dollars!”
“I earned it hiking,” replied the boy.
“Hiking??? Come on son; tell your Dad the truth. Nobody can make that sort of money hiking. Where did you Really get the cash from?”
“It’s like I say, Dad. Every night when you were gone, Mr. Goldberg from the bank would come over to see Mom. He’d give me a 20 dollar bill and tell me to take a hike!”
