My favorite free-time activity is hiking in the mountains. I usually engage in this activity on weekends with a group of close friends. We pack snacks, water, and our cameras and head out early in the morning to explore different trails. I love hiking so much because it allows me to connect with nature, exercise, and spend quality time with my friends. I prefer hiking over other activities because it combines adventure and physical activity in one. My best friend's favorite pastime, on the other hand, is painting. Although we both enjoy our hobbies, hiking allows me to be more active and social, while painting allows her to be creative and reflective.
