Wednesday in class, we discussed barriers to participation
in outdoor recreation. The top three were not enough time, money, and health.
One activity that I think is a fun and easy fix for these barriers is hiking.
Hiking is an activity that any age can enjoy and can be very easy (almost like
a walk) or very strenuous and challenging. It also doesn’t matter where you are
to enjoy a fun hike. The attached website lists 7 hiking trails in Nebraska and
their location.
See, we still have some nifty stuff to do in Nebraska! But
if you’d like to travel and find some hikes outside of Nebraska, I would
recommend Colorado. I enjoy finding trails in Rocky Mountain National Park or
finding a mountain and just going. Two summers ago, my sister and I climbed
Twins Sister Peak in Colorado. It’s a 7 mile hike with no cost. Here is a
website with more information.
If you’d like some more fun trails and hikes in Colorado,
close to the Estes area, just let me know! I would love to give you some
awesome trails and hear your own experience! J
