Home > New To Summit? > Hikes

In our hectic, modern lives it is easy to get lost, to lose a sense of who we really are and why we are here. It is easy to get so busy doing so many things that we loose track of why we are doing them.

Hiking gives us a break from our ordinary routine and a chance to reconnect with the natural world and ourselves. Hiking can be a time to let your mind soar and contemplate the most difficult problems and abstract ideas. Hiking gives us a chance to leave our mechanized way of life behind for awhile at least and to begin reclaiming our soul's heritage.

While you are hiking and enjoying nature you may from time to time feel a presence that communicates with you through the natural beauty of your surroundings. Learn to listen to it. It often comes to us as a few moments of wonder while we are observing the magnificence of nature.

Hikes ranging from nature strolls to high adrenaline adventures are widely popular among Summiteers. A broad range of hikes with varying degree of difficulty are offered every day during the Summit.
