Do you like to hike? I like it more than walking for a more vigorous type of exercise 
I do! I hike all the time. It's awesome to see all the beautiful scenary!
In the UK , they use the word walking to describe all forms , doesn't matter if it's climbing the Alps or a walk in the park, lol.
Ha, neat! Do you know when hiking became a popular receational activity?
Not really. In Australia they call it bushwalking, named by the Sydney BushWalkers club in 1927
Cool, anything else you know about hiking that's interesting?
In New Zealand they call it tramping. funny huh?
Heh, that's pretty funny
Its very popular worldwide for the health benefits and other reasons.
