Hiking Is an Ideal Structure for Friendship

Curated by Nicoda Adams

I’ve gone on hikes with coworkers, friends, and family and the one thing they all have in common is that there are always good conversations. There are so many distractions in our world that make it hard to connect, between work, family, and a million other things. A group of 4 friends who have been going on monthly hikes for 25 years might just have a solution on how to stay connected and have great conversations.

In this interview, these 4 friends discuss why the hike organizer has absolute authority, how they’ve shown up for one another through tragedies, and why hiking together has bonded them more deeply than other ways of keeping in touch.
