Essential Day Hiking Tips for Women: Your Guide to the Trail

Putting yourself “out there” on a hiking trail is an expression of your adventurous spirit.

But along with relishing that exhilarating sense of adventure, you need to control the essential factors that make you a day hiker: footwear, backpack, hiking clothes, trail food, planning your destination and more.

Having firm control over these variables puts you in a position of strength to deal with unpredictable events like nasty weather, animal encounters, and misadventures in map reading.

It also makes your day hike much more enjoyable.

Yearning to turn the idea of taking a hike into reality? You need these tips from a seasoned hiker to get you onto a trail in comfort and safety.

Already dayhiking? These “best of” hiking tips from Hiking For Her will open your eyes to new ways of thinking about gear, hiking clothes, hydration, energy, pacing and more.

Each of the ten chapters give you detailed, specific advice to apply before, during and after your day hike. Learn how to buy the best gear, why safety items are essential, which foods and beverages to pack, how to choose the ideal destination and how to get there (and back) safely.

Female hikers need tips about how to handle body fluids and wastes while hiking. Trail stresses are also covered: losing the trail, animal encounters, stranger dangers, just to name a few.

And once you’re off the trail, try the plentiful tips for dealing with soreness, inflammation and lack of motivation to make you ready and eager to hit the trail next time.

This book acts as two hiking advice books in one: the best hiking tips for day hikers rolled into one organized streamlined experience, plus bonus materials and surprises to explore at your leisure.

Let this book act as your trail guide to memorable (for the right reasons) hiking adventures.

If you’re just starting out as a day hiker, you will save yourself a ton of time and money by reading and applying these hiking tips. Use a “learn as you go” approach, with this book as your mentor.

Been day hiking for a while but have a few gear, navigation, or food issues that you’d like to solve or improve? Use this book as a rich resource to fine tune your approach to the trail.

Hiking For Her’s mission is to get women on trails for safe, enjoyable hiking adventures. Won’t you join us?
