Are you trying to put some spice into your relationship? Are you looking for something exciting to do with your sweetie this summer? If you answered yes to either of these questions, I have a great suggestion for you. Take her hiking. Once you try it, you’ll have a fun new hobby for the rest of your lives.

First you’ll want to consider where you want to go for your hike. You can pick a nice flat trail and make it more like a leisurely walk or you can pick a mountain and make it into excellent exercise. National and State Parks make excellent hiking spots. All states have and you can learn all about them on the world wide web. Many cities have nature preserves and wildlife refuges too. Here you can hike and have a chance to see plants and animals that you wouldn’t see in everyday life. Make sure you consider your physical condition when deciding on your place to go hiking because if you don’t, you could end up turning a romantic hike into a major nightmare.

Next you’ll want to think about clothing and equipment. I’d suggest that you avoid tight clothing and shorts. There are often plants with burrs and thorns on hiking trails and poison ivy is everywhere. You certainly don’t want to hurt yourself or end up with posion ivy. You will also want to wear comfortable and sturdy shoes. I’d suggest that you invest in a quality pair of hiking shoes because they’ll be more comfortable than sneakers.

You also have to decide what to pack in picnic backpack. You’re going to need to take a food break somewhere along the way and modern picnic backpacks come with gear like lightweight plates, tumblers and flatware. If you have one you won’t have to worry about throwing away of paper plates and cups. This is good for you and even better for the environment. As for food, my favorites are high carbohydrate foods like granola, fruit and nut mixes and sandwiches to help keep your energy level high. Hiking while on the Atkins Diet probably isn’t a good idea. Regardless of your choice of food, make sure you bring plenty of water because no matter how clean the stream you’re hiking by appears to be, the water might not be safe to drink.

Now you’re ready for your hike. I hope you have fun and spice up your romance. At worst, it’s another activity for you to enjoy with your honey and at best, it might help save your relationship.
