Let’s say you went on one of the 59 First Day Hikes scheduled today at North Carolina’s State Parks, and, perhaps to your surprise, you — someone who never really considered yourself the outdoors type, let alone a hiker — really liked it.

And when it was done — Wow! Did I really just walk two miles!? You wonder where hiking might lead if you stuck with it.
