While it's important to practice social distancing right now, hiking is still possible as long as people are considerate of each other's space. In addition, being out in nature offers plenty of mental and physical benefits, including lower levels of stress and reduced inflammation, and it also helps to fight depression and anxiety, all key during this particularly stressful time.
