Step 1: Prepare for your hike
First, a hike entails walking. Sometimes strenuously, other times casual. Make sure that walking for longer periods of time works for you. Commence with a treadmill until you feel comfortable with a saucy walk in the park, and then finally, graduate onto the track. Do this repeatedly until you feel your strength is adequate to withstand the duration of your desired hike.
第一步：为徒步旅行做准备
首先，徒步旅行需要行走。有时候很消耗体力，其他时候很随便。要确保你能长时间行走。先从踏车开始，知道你能在公园里随意行走，最后，去小道上行走。要反复练习智能你有足够的体力能达到想要去的目的地。

Step 2: Dress appropriately
Next, forget your exceptional fashion sense and make yourself comfortable for the adventure. Simple jeans and a t-shirt will be sufficient. If the weather is scorching, consider shorts.
第二步：穿衣服要合适
下一步，忘记你的美感，尽量为旅行穿着舒适点。简单的牛仔裤和T恤就足够了。如果天气很热，要考虑短装。

Step 3: Wear appropriate footwear
The most important aspect of your attire is the footwear. Tennis shoes, hiking boots, or even specialized sandals (for the audacious type) can be worn but make sure they are not brand new and that your feet are akin to them – or the results may be unfavorable.
第三步：穿合适的鞋袜
穿衣中最重要的环节是鞋袜。网球鞋，登山鞋，或是特别的凉鞋（对那些大胆冒险者）都可以穿，但是要保证鞋不是新的而且脚穿鞋比较舒适，否则结果不堪设想。

Step 4: Know your route
Next let's consider our two biggest predators we will encounter – the sun, and the ever alarming mosquitoes. Simply applying spf 30 or higher sunscreen and bug repellent will be sufficient to rid yourself of these pests.
第四步：知道你的路线
让我们来考虑下2个我们要面对的最危险的事物：太阳和使人害怕的蚊子。让你的防晒系数达到30或是更高，买些驱虫剂足够让你拜托这些麻烦。

Step 5: Packing
Following our spray baths, we must cognize the route. Be informed of the length and incline of your walk. Most areas provide free maps containing this and other imperative information.
第五步：收拾背包
我们必须认识路线。要知道所走路程的长度和斜坡。很多地方都提供免费的地图，其中包含这类的信息以及其他必要的信息。

Step 6: Take your time
With regards to packing, only bring simple necessities on our undertaking. Water and a few snacks should do just fine for a pint-sized hike. Making a list and checking off items usually benefits. And don’t omit a camera. One of the most enjoyable parts will be the memories that accompany you home.
第六步：从容准备
考虑到背包，只带些必需品即可。带些水和一些吃的，够一次短途旅行就可以了。列一个表，并检查那些有帮助的物品。不要忘带相机。旅行中最重要的部分就成为你以后美好的记忆。

Step 7: Reach your destination
Now the most important step, besides avoiding cliffs and mountain lions of course, take your time. “Use your feet to get away from it all.” Don’t be scared to stop, ponder, and notice the simple things that surround you. Let nature take you to another place.
第七步：到达目的地
现在是最重要的步骤，除了要避开悬崖和美洲狮外，享受下吧。用你的脚来远离尘世。不要惊慌地停下来，思索并打量周围的环境。让大自然带领你去另一个地方。

Step 8
And finally, reach your destination. The feeling of accomplishment that you receive will rejuvenate, motivate, and inspire.
第八步：
最终达到目的地。你获得的成就感会激励并鼓舞你。
