Hiking is generally defined as a recreational activity that involves walking or trekking on different terrains, typically in natural environments. It often takes place on designated hiking routes or trails, which are paths specifically designated for hiking. Hiking can be done individually or with a group of people, depending on personal preferences. While many hikers choose to do day hikes, some longer hiking trips may require spending one or more nights outdoors, often camping and sleeping in a sleeping bag or other suitable accommodation.
