For the majority, hiking is seen as an activity reserved for the longer and warmer days of the summer. It makes sense since everything tends to feel that bit nicer on a sunny day and you’re not fighting the cold. However, it’s hard to beat a cold-weather hike and if you’re properly prepared for it, there’s a good case to put forward that it trumps a warm summer’s day. In the first instance, there will smaller crowds on the popular trails and you don’t have to battle with pesky insects. Of course, you can’t tackle a cold-weather hike like you would on a warm day. There are a few extra considerations to bear in mind when venturing out on a nippy day, some of which are more serious than others, like hypothermia. An ill-prepared hike in such conditions can be uncomfortable at best and fatal at worst–not that we’re trying to scare you!
