Hiking Has All the Benefits of Walking and More

Hiking, a form of exercise older than exercise itself, is so hot right now. From 2018 to 2021, the number of Americans hitting the trails ballooned from around 48 million to 59 million, according to the nonprofit Outdoor Foundation. Though they came because of the pandemic, many people have stayed for the workout and for the refuge hiking offers from their screen-addled daily lives. For Alyson Chun, an outdoors guide and assistant director of adventure sports at Stanford, hiking offers freedom and perspective.
