What are your favorite places to go camping or hiking?

How would you reply? Leave a comment or let me know on the forum.

I was asked to share my favorite camping and hiking locations for Florida Outdoors

It takes a certain kind of person to go out alone and enjoy wild places.

I am really not that kind of person.

I’ve been to lots of great places in thirty years of Scouting but my favorite location for camping is not a place on a map.

My favorite place to go camping or hiking is anywhere my Scouts are because wilderness is something I feel compelled to share. It all seems more meaningful and sweeter if I can show someone what I have found, share a view or a campfire, and enjoy the challenges of the journey together.

The secret to enjoying a wilderness sojourn is not the places we go, but who we share them with.

However, here are a couple places I do enjoy:

Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario

The Gasterntal Valley in Switzerland
