More of a chill nature walk. *It's been a stressful* *week* *and* *you just want to walk leisurely between some trees, okay?* *Level 2.* Short hike, but uphill. More than a chill nature walk. *You want to walk uphill* *and* *maybe sweat a little, is that too much to ask?* *Level 3.* Longer hike, more uphill. *You could maybe get* *in**to* *this* *whole hiking thing but you're maybe not* *in**terested* *in* *doing anything all that crazy* *this* *week**end, y'know?* *Level 4*. Longer hike, more uphill, significant elevation gain and you might get above tree-line. *You're feeling pretty savvy* *and* *you want to bag a bigger peak* *this* *week**end, cool?* *Level 5*. Longest hikes we regularly run, major distances and elevation gain. *Those AT thru hikers got nothin' on you, yeah!* *Level 6+.* Prezi Traverse, Carter Traverse, anytime we carry a canoe up something nonsensical. *Okay you might be a little crazy but look at those calves, wow!* Sign up to get *financial aid* on any DOC-related activity: http://outdoors-dev.dartmouth.edu/opo/finaid.html
