Hiking is good for the soul.

The physical, social, and artistic activity would be a great combination in any environment. Placing it in nature definitely takes it to a more significant, internally provocative level, however, and my most recent break from such endeavors certainly has emphasized this to me. Not that I've taken some sort of hiking sabbatical that has lasted eons of Aaron-time, or any hyperbolic notion of the sort, but, rather, I think the impact of having hiked today was more felt due to its actual relevance and truth in my life. Simply put, I am always positively impacted by a good hike no matter how recently I have participated in one. They're just good things to do in life.
