[quote=Anonymous]As others have said: start with easy trails, use hiking poles, go with a partner, and bring a phone. A shoe sturdier that a sneaker is good, but if you do get into it, get hiking boots. If you're going on a longer hike, bring water and a snack. The dangerous parts are wet, leaf-covered trails, mud, puddles, and trails with a lot of roots or rocks. Google hiking or walking clubs in your area and join to get started. A lot of hiking is learned by going with experienced hikers. I'm 67 with a bit of arthritis and do easy hikes now, but still love it.[/quote]
