You will hike much slower and get tired earlier than usual. That means that you&nbsp;<strong>can\u2019t just jump into your regular hikes when it is hot out<\/strong>. You have to start easy until you have acclimatized to the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on where you live, you may be able to go hiking just gradually acclimatize by ramping up to longer and harder hikes. It&nbsp;<strong>can take about two weeks to get used to hot weather<\/strong>. But that doesn\u2019t work if you live in a place that is usually fairly cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also&nbsp;<strong>deliberately expose yourself to heat<\/strong>&nbsp;to acclimatize yourself ahead of hot weather. It\u2019s possible to work on your heat tolerance through sauna, hot tub, or hot yoga sessions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is the best time to hike: the snow has melted, the flowers are blooming, and the skies are blue.
