Hiking etiquette rules that should be common sense but apparently need to be spelled out for some people

One of the things I love most about hiking is the escape.

For a few hours, there's no doom and gloom on the news, no family drama, no Slack notifications, no people fighting about dumb stuff on social media. It's just you, the trail and whatever nature decides to throw your way that day.

There's a certain simplicity to it.

Put on some decent shoes. Bring some water. Get outside. Don't be a jerk.

Unfortunately, that last part seems to trip some people up.
