Hiking is one of my all-time favorite, Silver Lined activities. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to live in Santa Barbara, where the hiking is a gorgeous, year-round activity. Hiking is one of the few activities that stimulates and inspires me mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
