Hiking in nature provides you with physical exercise and mental relaxation.  Hiking is something people of all abilities and ages can do.  The main thing is to find a place that fits your ability and desires.  If you need more flat terrain, places to sit down frequently, or paved walkways due to physical limitations, then look for these types of trails.  Don’t let physical limitations get in the way of you experiencing nature and the world around you.  My posts on places to hike are meant to provide information for you to determine if this is a place you are able to hike or even want to hike.  I’m also trying to find places people didn’t realize are available to hike.  Some of the posts also include educational activities for people doing home schooling with their children.

Lee-Kay Family Educational County Forest – Get out and explore!  You don’t have to go far away to explore new places.  There are many free walking trails around.  You just have to look in your neighborhood or community.
