Pssst… We want to tell you a secret! You know water? Shhh!!! Water, water, you know water? Good. You know it’s important to drink water? Shhh! Yes, drink water, yes, especially during hikes.

Well, maybe it’s not such a big secret. They say most of our body is water (that’s why I don’t like swimming – I’m afraid I’ll get mixed) and water is essential for all living things, but especially essential to all hikers who would like to stay living things.

Remember that your thirst level is not the most accurate indicator of your body’s water level. When planning a big hike, start with drinking around 20 ounces of water, a couple of hours before you start and during the hike you should be gulping around 10 ounces of water to every 15 minutes of sweat. In this way you will compensate on the body’s loss of water. But don’t drink too much all at once, you’ll feel heavy and get cramps.


If you drink during your little adventure, you will prevent icky nausea, fight exhaustion and avoid unnecessary risks like heat stroke.

By the way, at Limitless Adventures, we got plenty of hikes and mountaineering adventures waiting for you and lots of water as well. Liquid if your thirsty, or frozen if you're up to a Colorado ski vacation. All you have to is give us a call and plan your dream adventure vacation today!
