walking vacations are an idea that just may be what you are looking for. Sometimes a vacation can be a lot like surfing the internet.
You run from place to place trying to do and see everything. But there's never enough time. It leaves you frazzled.
Do you want spend your vacation lying like a slug by the pool?
Do you want to stand waiting for hours in endless long lines?
Do you want to end your vacation feeling more stressed than before you left?
Of course not. That’s why you are planning a walking vacation. Wooho!
Whether you are joining an organized walking tour….OR you prefer to strike out on your own….I can help make your walking vacation a success.
The whole idea of a walking vacation is to ….Slow Down….and soak in the beauty of this world that God gave us….while stretching our legs….expanding our lungs….AND cleansing our minds of Stress and Negativity.
There is absolutely no better vacation idea to rejuvenate your body and mind.Need some ideas for where to go for your walking vacation?
Our National Parks system ....
is a tremendous resource for your walking vacation. There are numerous parks all across the country with miles and miles of trails to walk or hike.
From mountains to meadows and deserts to glaciers there is a National Park that will fit you. A National Park will easily provide enough walking to fill your week and more.
For shorter holidays of a day or two look for your state and local parks. They will almost always have trails marked for walking.
Another great vacation idea for walking is our national battlefields. In particular the Civil War battlefields on the east coast.
Tip: Don't just throw on any old pair of sneakers or shoes. Make sure you have a good pair of walking shoes that are right for your feet. It will make a world of difference.
Tip: Most people, while hiking or walking, don't even think about the possibility of getting lost. Unfortunately this can lead to trouble. Check out my article on how to avoid getting lost on your walking vacation.
Tip: Taking regular breaks is a good idea. On a long walk waste products will build up in your legs. This can tire you out and make you uncomfortable. Stop and take a 5 minute break at least once every hour or more often.
Sit down and find a way to prop your legs up. This will allow the waste products to drain naturally out of your legs. You will feel more refreshed and have more energy as a result. The time lost will be more than made up for in comfort.
Tip: It is very important that you eat and drink plenty of water. You won't feel thirsty until after your body has started to dehydrate. Drink water before you get thirsty.
The same thing for eating. Your body needs the nourishment before you actually feel hungry. Eat and drink before, during and after your walks.
If you are walking or hiking longer than 30 minutes you should pay special attention to the fact that you lose salt and electrolytes from sweating. Eat salty snacks and drink sports drinks along with the water.
Tip: When planning your long walks you should allow extra time for the return trip. When going uphill allow twice as long to ascend as you do to descend.
Wherever you go on your walking vacation, walk with confidence and joy. The world awaits you.
