United States: An early example of an interest in hiking in the United States, is Abel Crawford and his son Ethan's clearing of a trail to the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire in 1819.[19] This 8.5 mile path is the oldest continually used hiking trail in the United States. The influence of British and European Romanticism reached North America through the transcendentalist movement, and both Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–82) and Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) were important influences on the outdoors movement in North America. Thoreau's writing on nature and on walking include the posthumously published Walking (1862).[20] While an earlier essay A Walk to Wachusett (1842) describes a four-day walking tour he took with a companion from Concord, Massachusetts to the summit of Mount Wachusett, Princeton, Massachusetts and back. In 1876 the Appalachian Mountain Club, America’s earliest recreation organization, was founded to protect the trails and mountains in the northeastern United States.

In Continental Europe amongst the most popular areas for hiking are the Alps, and in the United Kingdom the Lake District, Snowdonia, and the Scottish Highlands. In the US the National Park system generally is popular, whereas in Canada the Rockies of Alberta and British Columbia are the most popular hiking areas. The most visited hiking area in Asia is probably Nepal. The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is possibly the most hiked short trail in South America.

This video is from the perspective of my GoPro Hero 3+ camera. Which is mounted on my helmet. On this run we are skiing on challenger. The date was Nov. 28th, 2014 so there weren't as many trails open. But challenger is a decent trail so I didn't really mind.

Visitors had the opportunity to walk across the Wachusett Reservoir Dam in Clinton, take photos and ask rangers questions on Saturday afternoon, May 11, 2013. The last two years the state has opened Department of Conservation and Recreation opened the top of the dam to allow visitors to walk across it around Columbus Day weekend. Before that, it was closed to the public for years because of security concerns and potential threats to the water supply. This year, the DCR will start opening the top of the dam to visitors twice each year, in spring and in fall.
The Wachusett Reservoir in Boylston, Clinton, Holden, Hubbardston, Leominster, Princeton, Rutland, Sterling and West Boylston is part of the Nashua River Watershed. The dam in Clinton, completed in 1905, impounds the Nashua River, creating the Wachusett Reservoir. The reservoir is part of Greater Boston's water system, maintained and controlled by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. According to the DCR, it was the largest public water supply reservoir in the world when it was completed. At that time, the dam was the largest gravity dam in the world at 205 feet high and 965 feet long.
Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge
The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1974 to help protect and preserve a portion of the Great Dismal Swamp, a marshy region on the Coastal Plain of southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina between Norfolk, Virginia, and Elizabeth City, North Carolina in the United States. It is located in parts of the independent cities of Chesapeake and Suffolk in Virginia, and the counties of Camden, Gates, and Pasquotank in North Carolina.
History of the Charlestown Navy Yard
From 1800 to 1974 the Charlestown Navy Yard was a location where ships were built, repaired, and restored. It exemplified America's growing industrial and military prowess in the 19th and 20th Centuries, as well as the dedication and skill of its diverse workforce. Today it is the home to two warships, the USS CONSTITUTION and USS CASSIN YOUNG. Some 30 acres of the old Navy Yard are currently preserved as part of Boston National Historical Park.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Hiking is the preferred term, in Canada and the United States, for a long, vigorous walk, usually on trails (footpaths), in the countryside, while the word walking is used for shorter, particularly urban walks. On the other hand, in the United Kingdom, and the Republic of Ireland, the word walking is acceptable to describe all forms of walking, whether it is a walk in the park or backpacking in the Alps. The word hiking is also often used in the UK, along with rambling (a slightly old-fashioned term), hillwalking, and fell walking (a term mostly used for hillwalking in northern England). The term bushwalking is endemic to Australia, having been adopted by the Sydney Bush Walkers club in 1927. In New Zealand a long, vigorous walk or hike is called tramping. It is a popular activity with numerous hiking organizations worldwide, and studies suggest that all forms of walking have health benefits.
