Winter Hiking with Kdan Cloud
The winter season is a great time to explore the outdoors with friends and family. One way to enjoy the scenic views of the season is by venturing out on a hike to local parks, nature reserves, or trails. Not only are hikes a great way to explore new areas and a great source of physical activity, but it’s also free! That’s a deal that’s hard to beat. You can go on shorter hikes of less than half an hour, or venture on an all-day journey; but no matter the length, planning is essential to ensure your travels are executed as smoothly as possible.
Prepare for Winter Hiking
As the seasons change, so does the temperature; so a hike during the winter can feel a lot different than one taken during late summer. Making sure you carefully pack for your hike will prepare you for the elements. Check the weather ahead of time to make sure you are dressed and packed for the situation.
Aside from clothes, packing proper nutrition is key. Keeping your bodies hydrated and stomachs full will allow for the hiking experience to be as fun as possible. Bring with you extra snacks and fill up multiple water bottles to make your trek enjoyable. Snacks could include non-perishables like trail mix, dried fruit and beans, cereal, and other food items that fit nicely in your hiking backpack.
Helpful Gadgets
Some final packing essentials include navigation tools and flashlights for when visibility gets low. Bringing along a map, compass or even a GPS can help you avoid getting lost when navigating the trail; and a flashlight can help in low-lit or potentially foggy areas along hiking trails.
Plan Your Trip with Creativity 365 App Series and Kdan Cloud
All of this can be a lot to remember, but thankfully Kdan offers tools like NoteLedge to organize your hiking information, and Kdan Cloud to share your packing list with all companions who are joining on the trail.
NoteLedge helps by letting you clip information you found on hiking websites about what to pack or routes you found. You can even create your own list and reminders to plan your trip accordingly. The notes you create can easily be shared with your travel partners via a Kdan Cloud shareable link as well to ensure everyone is on the same page!
