    The document discusses hiking and trekking, differentiating the two activities. Hiking is typically shorter walks on designated trails while trekking involves longer multi-day journeys on non-designated paths. Both activities can impact the environment if best practices are not followed. Hiking usually takes place in natural environments and requires lighter equipment while trekking is done in mountainous areas and requires more gear.
