During holidays, more and more people like traveling. Many of today's travelers are trying to find an unusual experience or adventure. Hiking may be a good choice.

Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn't have to be very expensive. You can hike close to home or travel to other places. The basic equipment (装备) you need for hiking is simple: good shoes, clothes and a backpack.

Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn't forget safety. Here are some basic tips for successful hiking:

·Hiking in a group. Always have at least one other person with you.

·Drinking often to stay hydrated(含水的). Carry enough water for the day and your pack will get lighter as the day wears on.

·Leave your hike plan with someone back home and call them when you get off the trail (小路).

·Bring and use sunscreen and a hat to prevent sunburn. Even on cloudy or cold days.

·Leave all your cotton clothes at home.

·Short hair is much easier to manage in the wild and it is less inviting for bugs and critters looking for a place to live.
