Okay, so this may sound like a dumb question, but I'm serious.

Is it just walking through trails and admiring nature, or does it involve actual excercise?

How would I find out about hiking options in my area?

As you can tell I'm pretty new to all of this, so any advice/help is greatly appriciated.

Thanks!
 
Hiking is a skill, its not just walking haphazardly through the woods or on a trail. Yes admiring nature is part of it but hiking can be pretty strenous based on your fitness level, the distance you are hiking, the conditions of the trail, etc. There are a ton of variables. Some like to hike in the summer other prefer the cooler faller.

Being that you didnt tell us where you are from its going to be hard to recommend areas for you to go hiking. You can go to www.backpacker.com On the main page they have a map click on your state and then you can select the hikes that are there (they change daily) or you can type in your city and it`ll give you local hikes in your area.
