Hiking through shady forests and along fresh waters

Dipping into the shady forest and strolling along cool streams is another way to escape the scorching summer heat! With a bit of luck, there is even a gentle breeze blowing while hikers are out in the lush greenery. At the same time, the dense canopy of leaves provides natural air conditioning, keeping you cool and refreshed. The babbling of the streams and the chirping birds create a calming atmosphere. For optimal cooling, hikers should avoid the warm midday hours.
