How this hiking journal printable keeps your adventures
Back home, write down the trail, its length, the climb, your time, the route type and difficulty, the weather, your companions, the best moments and any animals you spotted, then score it yourself. Before the trip, the planning sheet sorts out parking, permits, where to find water and when to turn around, and it gives someone at home a clear plan.
A list of the ten essentials, the color-in challenge and monthly stats keep you motivated through the year.
