Hello, all! After browsing this site, I liked what I saw and decided to join. I love being outdoors and love doing physical activities, so I've decided to try hiking. The thing is, I've never hiked before in my life, so I'm full of questions about what I'll need to get started. I'm fairly fit, so I'm not worried about overdoing it, passing out on a trail, or anything like that. My primary concern is hiking boots; from my research, I've read plenty about how important it is to have proper footwear, and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to which boots are the best and which to stay away from. Also, any other tips for a beginner like me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
Also, don't be surprised if you read a similar post on the biking board. I'm thinking of trying cycling too.
