5 Tips On Hiking
Odyssey

Today I hiked the Indian Seats Trail on Sawnee Mountain in Georgia. Although this was not my first hike, each trail has something new to offer. Hence, It was an eye-opening experience with a beautiful view at the top. I definitely recommend it to any beginning hikers looking for a few hours of fun. Through my minimal experience in hiking, I have picked up on a few tips.

1. Dress Appropriately

While hiking, make sure to always dress comfortably and for the correct weather. Sneakers are always a necessity.

2. Carry Snacks

Make sure to carry water and other healthy snacks such as granola bars or fruit in order to stay hydrated and healthy.

3. Take Pictures

Bring a camera along or have a phone handy in order to take pictures at the top or along on the way. Memories are often remembered through pictures.

4. Pace Yourselves

If it is a long way to the top, make sure to pace yourselves in order to make it to the destination in good time without being excessively tired.

5. Have fun

Lastly, make the experience exciting. Take your friends and family. Enjoy the company and the view.
