summer hiking

Sunny mountain walks

Summer hiking is walking for recreation or exercise in natural settings during the warmer months, when trails are typically accessible and weather permits extended outdoor activity.

The term distinguishes from winter hiking, which requires different gear and preparation: We do summer hiking in the Rockies and switch to snowshoeing after November.
