My favorite free-time activity is hiking through the local mountains. I usually engage in this activity on weekends when the weather is nice. I start early in the morning and pack a lunch to enjoy at the summit. I like hiking so much because it allows me to connect with nature and clear my mind. I prefer it over other activities because it provides both physical exercise and mental relaxation. My best friend's favorite pastime is going to the gym and lifting weights, which is similar to hiking in that it is a form of exercise, but different in that it takes place indoors.
