No matter what hiking trail you choose to hike, there is a good chance that you will come across a wide array of landscape.

Fun for families, romantic for partners
In keeping with romantic getaways, hiking adventures can last as short as a few hours or as long as a whole week.Many individuals who go hiking choose to stay onsite, often at an onsite campground. This is nice, as when you are camping you are at one with nature. This setting is perfect for privacy, as well as romance. As for family vacations, camping overnight at a hiking park is also nice, as it adds another fun activity for you and your family to enjoy.
If you are planning on hiking with your children, there is a good chance that they would find the camping part just as exciting as the hike itself.

It isn't just about hiking anymore... :-)
Speaking of activities, when you go hiking, you will likely end up visiting a hiking park. Hiking parks are often home to a number of different hiking trails.In addition to being home to a number of hiking trails, as well as a campground, you will also likely find a number of other activities for you and your family or you and your romantic partner to participate in.
For instance, it is not uncommon for a hiking park to have a playground or a swimming pool. This means that you and whoever else you are with may enjoy playing a few outdoor games or going for a swim. In today's society, hiking isn't just about hiking anymore.
My Conclusion:
As you can see, from being outlined above, hiking (and camping) is the perfect way to spend your next family vacation or even your next romantic getaway.If you are interested in enjoying a hiking adventure, you may want to think about making your reservations in advance.
While you may not necessarily need a reservation to just go hiking, you may need one if you are interested in camping out overnight. Making your reservations in advance will help to ensure that your next hiking and camping adventure is as memorable as possible.

- Nice lens on hiking. My fiancée and I couldn't agree with you more that hiking is great getaway and fun for everyone.
As a member of a flashlight enthusiast forum (yes, they do exist :D), I'd like to add that aside from a wind-up flashlight, it's really best to have a batter powered hiking flashlight. You will get much better output and will be able to see better. Not to mention, if you're doing some strenuous hiking, it's not much fun using a wind-up or shake light when you are already tired. A wind-up flashlight is great to have as a backup though.
I'm currently using a SureFire G3 which I recently posted on my blog about (http://hikingflashlight.tumblr.com) and we plan to get the smaller version (SureFire G2) for my fiancée here soon.
Thanks again for the lens and stay safe out on the trail!

- Nice lens. Rail Trails aren't much in the way of secluded or true nature but they are a great start for families just getting started. We bike them and have even planned vacations going from one to the other.
