Finding Harmony in Nature

Letting the Trail Set the Pace for Autism-friendly Hikes

Letting the Trail Set the Pace "Hiking with-Autism-in-my-mind"

Today, the “RainbowHunters” were hiking the trail as usual, with #autisminmymind 

As my daughter was taking point on the trail.

 It was such a joy to see her thriving as a new explorer on her second trail adventure. As she led the way.

I found myself having trouble keeping up with her pace. I had to begin to consider how to regulate her excitement and ensure that the “RainbowHunters” didn’t miss out on any of the wonders of nature around us – we were moving so fast we would miss even a tornado passing by!

Pacing Your Trail Hike with Autism in Mind

 

When it comes to pacing your trail hike with autism in mind, it’s important to consider the type of path you choose. Instead of opting for a paved trail, consider selecting a natural, dirt path. The terrain itself can help regulate the pace of your hike. For example, a trail with more tree coverage or openness will impact the pace you can maintain. Natural obstacles like uneven and rocky sections can naturally slow down movements, allowing for a more immersive experience in the outdoors.

  • Embrace the natural landscape to set the pace of your hike.

  • Allow the trail to guide your movements and regulate the speed of your journey.

  • Opt for natural paths with varying terrain to create a more engaging experience.

Find harmony in nature while hiking with individuals with autism by letting the trail set the pace.

Choose trails that suit their needs for an enriching experience connecting with nature. Let nature guide your hike for a harmonious journey tailored to each individual. Happy trails!
