2020 is here and with it comes a brand new 52 Hike Challenge. This year, the 52 Hike Challenge has added a variety of new challenges including hiking with dogs and hiking with kids. They even have an awesome new lifetime National Park challenge.
Since we’re just getting back into hiking again after D’s surgery, we’re going to tackle the adventure series hiking challenge. The adventure series challenge is basically the original 52 Hike Challenge with some fun objectives for the hikes. The objectives fit right in with the types of hikes that we enjoy plus there are a few which will make us get a bit more creative with our hikes.
While I’m fully aware that it may be difficult to get 52 hikes in this year with our crazy life, we’re still setting it as a goal. I miss going out and hiking on a regular basis, so this will be a great way to try to achieve that balance of work and play. Committing to the challenge is a purposeful way to make sure that we’re getting outdoors as a family.
We’ll also be starting the Lifetime National Park Challenge. We love exploring our National Parks, so this is a perfect fit for our family. Too bad we didn’t have this last year when we did our cross country road trip. Oh well, guess we get to create some more memories over the next few years.
Our hiking goals this year are to really explore both the state and national parks and forests in Arizona. We will plan on specific dates to explore the parks and add in additional local hikes on a regular basis.
