Hiking

 

 

When we began planning our first trip to the States we were willing to spend as much time as possible in the American natural parks. Nevertheless we weren't really sure of how much we could have liked it and how much our physical condition would have supported us.

After the month spent in the States, we enjoyed so much our hikes that, if we had had a chance, we would have walked even more than the 100 Km we hiked.

Anyway, this is a short list of all the official hikes we've walked up to now in the amazing American natural parks.
Always remember that a beautiful hike is a safe one.
