Lunch with GetHiking! Strategies for Avoiding Spring Crowds

It’s a love/hate thing with the coming of spring: You love the notion of warmer temperatures, of blooming wildflowers, of the forest canopy bursting forth. Trouble is, everyone else loves it, too, and you hate the legions of seasonal hikers who become as ubiquitous as spring beauties.

However, just because the trails are about to become more crowded doesn’t mean you need to stay away until summer. In today’s Lunch with GetHiking! we discuss some of our most effective ways to avoid spring crowds but still enjoy the great spring hiking season.

In our Gear Talk with Trusty segment, Austin with Great Outdoor Provision Co. talks about hiking shoes ideal for spring exploring.

As always, we meet for a half hour or so, via Zoom. The link to the gathering will be sent the morning of the event to those who sign up.
