I've hiked thousands of miles in all sorts of terrain.

From the deserts of southern California, to the pine forests of 🍏 Colorado, I've hiked in just about every clime and place! Part of what I enjoy about hiking is the competitive 🍏 feeling I get from it.

From time to time, I like to race my hiking partners (or myself) to see how 🍏 much faster I am at getting to a given objective.

This element kind of makes it seem like hiking is a 🍏 sport.

But is hiking a sport? Despite the competitive nature that you may have with yourself or your hiking buddies, hiking 🍏 is not truly a sport.
