If you’ve spent any time on my site, you’d know I have a lot of hiking content so it’s only right that I built this page of captions.
Hiking is the best free activity for people to do in practically any landscape. Although it can come with some dangers you should avoid, it’s also rewarding and enjoyable.
You can do it in the mountains, the forests, along the coast, through fields. There is no “one way to hike” as long as you keep moving forward.
I have spent a lot of time hiking in Canada and New Zealand and am always trying to find smart captions for my hiking pictures on social media.
If you need some hiking inspiration, some of my all time favourite hikes are:
- Sunrise Pinnacles hike in the Coromandel – New Zealand
- Walk the Mount Maunganui volcano – New Zealand
- EEOR Hike in Alberta – The East End of Rundle – Canada
- Grassi Lakes Hike in Canmore: The popular trail – Canada

Going hiking yourself? Consider downloading the AllTrails app to help you find your way along difficult hiking trails. I have used it for each of my trickier hikes that don’t have wifi access and when the trail is poorly marked.
During each of my long term trips and working holidays, I aim to hike and use walking trails as much as possible. Are you a female backpacker and new to hiking? Check out my post Women Backpackers: The Ultimate guide for beginners
