Maybe you’ve never considered hiking in the summer your cup of tea, especially if you live in a warm-weather climates. But maybe that’s simply because you haven’t developed a taste for it.

In this 7-page guide we discuss the virtues of a summer hike — fewer people on the trail, the flora and fauna, the solitude — and how best to deal with the heat. Pick an appropriate trail, go at the right time, dress and pack appropriately, and you could wind up a fan of the summer saunter.
