SECOND WIND HIKING

Hey Everyone and Welcome to Second Wind Hiking.
Colorado, my home state, remains a place of beauty and mystery. It's a state of majestic landscapes, startling panoramas. Colorado is a land of uncompromising beauty, dominated by lofty, snowcapped peaks; creased by precipitous canyons and mesas.

Just to let you know our group Second Wind has nothing to do with a person’s age, a juvenile drug and alcohol treatment facility or sport brands. This is a hiking group for anyone who wants to go out and have a good time. This group is more of a slow down, take your time and have a more harmonious outcome with nature so bring a camera and lunch with you!

"Second wind" in hiking refers to the physiological phenomenon where, after initial fatigue, your body transitions to more efficient aerobic metabolism (burning fat/carbs for sustained energy), reducing breathlessness and pain, allowing for renewed, smoother energy, often accompanied by mental focus and sometimes endorphins. Damn, I could use a couple doses of all of it!

There are a lot of hiking groups out there, mostly with the same descriptions which you have probably already read so I won’t bore you by writing out more of what you have already read written by other organizers.

~This is a group which usually hikes and ventures anywhere in or out of Colorado, on the weekends, weekdays, mornings, evenings, Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn any time that is available for hiking and whatever we decide to do afterwards.
~There is no need to feel you need to play catch up or slow down. The group is intended to hike at your own pace.
~Our hikes are an array of distances, skill levels, elevations and everything in between.

Again, this hiking group is for those who would prefer to slow down, take out time and have a more harmonious outcome with nature and not hike the trails like a marathon and not see anything surrounding you.

Thanks for joining Second Wind Hiking. Take it Easy and I’ll see you at the trailheads
Take Care
