Hiking Transforms Us Spiritually

"Everyone walks. What distinguishes hikers is that walking does more than transport us. It transforms us . . . Hiking evolves beyond recreation. When we find it leads to calm and clarity, hiking becomes meditation. When we sense nature manifests the divine, hiking becomes reverent, devotional, a form of worship."
