HIKING

Hiking is the preferred term, in Canada

and the United States, for a long,
vigorous walk, usually on trails, in the
countryside, while the word walking is
used for shorter, particularly urban walks
Scrambling (also known as alpine
scrambling)

is "a walk up steep terrain involving the use of

one's hands". It is an ambiguous term that lies
somewhere between hiking, hillwalking,
mountaineering, and rock climbing.
Canyoning often involves scrambling.
waterfall

is a place where water flows over a

vertical drop or a series of steep drops in
the course of a stream or river.
Waterfalls also occur where meltwater
drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg
or ice shelf.
Dog hiking

Refers to a form of hiking in which dogs

travel alongside their owners. It is most
commonly done by dogs' owners when they
go hiking to enjoy the companionship of their
pet, to avoid having to leave their pet home,
for added safety, and also to help provide
some extra haulage capacity.
