In addition to being an accomplished marine biologist, Dr. Christian Heesch is also an avid hiker who has tackled some of the most difficult trails that the United States has to offer. In preparing for an eventual hike at the Grand Canyon, he has taken a moment to reflect on all of the benefits that hiking can present to people in an effort to explain why he has dedicated so much of his time to the activity.

The most obvious advantage of hiking on a regular basis is the fact that it gives you the opportunity to get out into nature and explore the world. As an admirer of great adventurers like Jacques Cousteau and Dr. Hans Haas, Heesch is keen to follow in their footsteps in any way that he can. This is the reason why he pursued a career in marine biology and also plays a large role in why he likes to get out and hike whenever he is able.

The physical benefits of hiking must also be taken into account. By facing consistently challenging terrain, hiking allows you to develop strength and lose weight, with some statistics indicating that the average man is able to burn more than 500 calories during a single hour of hiking. This makes it something to keep in mind for anybody who is looking to improve their physical fitness, as maintaining a healthy body offers a range of long-term benefits.

Additionally, Heesch has found that the social benefits of hiking are immensely appealing and he has met many like-minded people while on the trails. Not only does this allow him to satisfy his own curious nature by learning more about the personal stories of the people that he meets on his adventures, but he has also found that he has learned an enormous amount about hiking from the people who share his passion.

Dr. Christian Heesch is constantly on the lookout for new trails to hike and he believes that he will continue enjoying the activity for many years to come. He hopes to discover even more great benefits along the way, while also convincing others to give hiking a try.
