by admin on January 31, 2010

Winter may be an impossible season for hiking many places in the U.S. But, in other places, it’s the best time. Check out these blog posts on hiking in Florida, Alabama and Nevada.

Thanks for the helpful post. I am an avid hiker – living in Virginia. The problems I have is I hate the cold so I decided to spent three weeks in Florida discovering the hiking trails. I did not think of Jacksonville as a homebase until after I read this.

I am ready to go- with my Camelbak Mule Hydration Pack and other hiking gear- headed to warmer weather!
