]]> If you have very sensitive skin and tend to deal with sunburns as soon as summer arrives, it’s crucial to protect yourself during each outdoor activity—including hiking. Here are three tips that will help you embark on a sunburn-free hike during the hot summer months.

Always Pack Sunscreen

Hiking in the summertime is all fun and games until you open your backpack and notice that your sunscreen is nowhere to be found. You should never hit the trail without it, especially since wearing long-sleeved clothes isn’t always an option once summer arrives.

Wear a Hat

It’s no secret that you should wear lightly-colored clothes while hiking in the summer because dark clothes absorb sunlight faster, but that’s not the only thing you should keep in mind when picking your hiking outfit. Wearing a hat is a must because it’s the only way to protect your head from direct sunlight.

Look For Shade

The less you’re exposed to the sun, the less likely it is you’ll be dealing with sunburns by the end of your hike. The trail you pick makes all the difference and it’s highly recommended to go for one that provides enough shade, especially if you’re going to spend the whole day outside.

]]> Most people avoid hiking in the summer because the temperatures are too high, but heading to the mountains is a good way to escape the heat. If you’re thinking of doing it before the fall arrives, make sure to avoid these common mistakes that could ruin your hike.

Wrong Timing

Timing is everything when it comes to summer workouts, and that’s especially true when it comes to hiking. Never go hiking in the afternoon when the heat is unbearable. Opt for mornings or evenings instead, and you’ll probably get to enjoy some pretty epic views along the way.

Wrong Trail

The trail you choose can make or break your summer hikes, so it’s crucial to make the right choice. Opt for trails that offer enough shade because you shouldn’t be exposed to too much sun. That’s also the reason why you should avoid long mountaintop hikes and leave them for the fall.

Lack of Hydration

One of the largest concerns that we’re dealing with during our summer workouts is dehydration. Failing to drink enough water can lead to dizziness, nausea, and headache, so make sure to always have a water bottle by your side and look for a trail with easy access to water so you could refill it as you hike.

Shorter Distance

You should determine the distance of your hike in advance, and be fully aware of your limitations. Summer hikes are more demanding, because it’s more difficult to stay hydrated and avoid sunburns, and that’s why you would try to keep them short.

Explore the Woods

It’s crucial to avoid being exposed to the sun during your hikes. The best possible way to do this is going for hikes in the woods, where you’re surrounded by trees that provide enough shade.

Conquering Mountain Tops?

Passionate hikers can’t resist reaching mountain tops during their hikes, but they often provide little to no shade. It’s usually better to avoid them, but if you can’t imagine your summer without them, make sure to wear sunscreen and go hiking early in the morning or late in the evening.
