nature hikes
Trails through wilderness
Nature hikes are walks taken through natural settings—forests, trails, mountains, or parks—typically for exercise, relaxation, or appreciation of the outdoors.
The term emphasizes the recreational and contemplative aspects over athletic rigor: We took nature hikes every weekend that summer.
A nature hike might involve birdwatching, identifying plants, or simply enjoying scenery.
