Putting yourself “out there” on a hiking trail is an expression of your adventurous spirit.
But along with relishing that exhilarating sense of adventure, you need to control the essential factors that make you a dayhiker:
Having firm control over these variables puts you in a position of strength to deal with unpredictable events like nasty weather, animal encounters, and misadventures in map reading.
It also makes your day hike much more enjoyable.
If you're just starting out as a hiker, you will save yourself a ton of time and money by reading and applying these hiking tips.
Been day hiking for a while but have a few gear, navigation, or food issues that you'd like to solve or improve?
Need a gift for the hiker(s) in the family?
It is my sincere wish that you will benefit from my labor of love to collect decades of dayhiking experience into one book.
Can you see that I really mean it when I say that HFH gives you hiking advice you can trust?
That's why I've gathered together a treasure trove of hiking tips and resources for your enjoyment:
to shorten your learning curve so you can savor trail time, enjoying each moment of your hikes.
Oh, and one more small reason:
A dayhiking tips book for women was such a joy to write!
Amazon has already thought about this problem, and solved it with a free app that allows you to read my book on devices you already own: your computer, phone and tablet.
Or pick up the paperback version of these dayhiking tips, and savor the feel of a "real" book in your hands.
"I have been reading your Hiking For Her book and it's SO good I haven't been able to put it down. As a beginning hiker it is ALL so relevant.
Thank you for putting such a valuable resource together for us newbies." -MH
The hiking tips in Hiking For Her's dayhiking tips book can be blamed on my addiction to hiking.
My obsession with hiking began innocently enough, with an invitation to join a Girl Scout backpacking trip to Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior.
Give a girl a backpack, and she's gonna want boots.
Give her sturdy boots, and she's gonna want a compass.
You get the idea!
Five decades later, I'm still hiking, but now I'm writing down my best hiking tips for hikers.
Over the years, these hiking tips have really piled up (over 350 pages and growing). It's getting to be a challenge to find exactly what you need in the maze of interconnected hiking tips.
But I'm guessing that you want something a little faster when you have questions about day hiking.
You need answers NOW!
Hence, the day hiking tips book :)
Let me know if you have any questions about my dayhiking tips book entitled Best Tips For Women Dayhikers.
I think the subtitle really nails it:
Everything You Need To Know To Hit The Trail
This book for women hikers was written with love and enthusiasm, because I know that's how you tackle the trail, too.
And I'd be delighted to answer your questions, about the book or about hiking in general.
Thanks for the chance to walk with you down the trail, if only for a little virtual while.
May all your trails bring you good things in abundance!
