Hiking dates give you a chance to get outside and spend time with your partner. You walk at a comfortable pace and talk about whatever comes up. The eight ideas here help you plan the day from choosing the trail to what to bring along. They use local trails and items you likely already have at home. Most trails are free and close enough for a half day activity. Wear comfortable shoes and check the weather before you go. You can always turn around early if needed.

Action

Search for a trail two to four miles long that matches your fitness level. Check recent reviews for current conditions like mud or fallen trees. Download a map app and save the route offline. Tell one other person where you are going and when to expect you back. This keeps the plan simple and safe.

Pro-Tip

Use free park websites or apps to find trails with parking and restrooms nearby. Avoid trails known for difficult terrain if it is your first time.
