    If you want to start hiking as an older adult or you hiked as a youth and are just getting back onto the trails, you'll quickly discover that the hiking gear and skills used by today's hikers have changed significantly in the past 20 years. From lightweight gear, footwear, and clothing to advances in GPS navigation and satellite communications, nearly every aspect of the hiking experience has been transformed, making hiking more accessible than ever for older adults.

    • How much food and water to bring with you.
    • How to go to the bathroom outside.

    • How to plan a day hike.
    • How to write a trip plan and leave it with a trusted friend.

    Part 2: Hiking Gear Guide explains the why, what, and how of modern hiking gear. It includes gear recommendations to help you select the best gear for different adventures and budgets, including:
