There are several things to consider when choosing a hike, including rating, difficulty, elevation and more. Even if you consider yourself in good shape, we recommend you start out with novice hikes and gradually take on more challenging trails. This way, you can build confidence and skills while avoiding injury or worse--burn out. Spend a little time learning how to navigate the rating scale to figure out which trail is right for you.
