The definition of hiking would be something like “a form of walking, started for a purpose of burning calories and to enjoy nice scenery.” Now That would be a definition that you might read somewhere in a dictionary or something. But what hiking really is, is a way for a person to go out and enjoy this beautiful earth we live on. It is a natural feeling for a human to want to see something that they are not used to seeing on a day to day basis and thats what happens while hiking.
There are other reasons to hike. One might be that they is a great looking waterfall at the top of a hill on the side of a mountain so you want to hike up there to see the water fall. Or someone might want to just go work out but they also want to be out in the wilderness.
Now I love hiking and I personally go for different reasons. The main reason I go hiking is to see the beautiful scenery and to take pictures of it. This is what many other people do so that they can capture the moment that they are in. Hiking is known as something that a very lot of people enjoy doing.
