I've done 5 mile hikes along paved paths but was looking to do a longer hike today and wasn't sure if I was ready for these trails.
Would love some feedback on the following trails if you could tell me. I'm kind of overweight and I've only been walking/hiking for about 2 months now. I use Sundays as a day for longer hikes.
Here's today's weather near me
I'm planning on leaving to go at about 12/1 pm
Here are the trails I'm considering:
Sycamore Trail - 7.2-miles, 610 ft elevation gain, Loop
Cabelands Trail to Laurel Bluffs - 5.7-miles, 564 ft elevation gain, Out & Back
Company Mill Loop - 5.6-miles, 600 ft elevation gain, Loop
I don't know if you need any more information about me. I did the 5-mile hike last Sunday on a greenway which is was mostly paved and had well-worn trails, I felt like I could have definitely done a few more miles afterward. I have Hokas and they fit well for me. I walk about 2 miles a day but this week because of rain and overall bad weather I missed 2 days of walking. My daily walks are downhill one way and uphill the other. It takes me about 45 minutes, depending on how my calves are feeling to do 2 hours when I'm just walking. The 5-mile hike/walk I did last Sunday took me about 2 hours. I am planning on doing about 4 hours this week, so I should be done around 5 pm.
Let me know if you need more information. Sorry If I did anything wrong in this post.
