How can I stay hydrated while hiking

Sure thing! Here are five different ways to stay hydrated while hiking:

**Pack Plenty of Water**: Always bring enough water for your hike. A good rule of thumb is about half a liter for every hour you plan to hike. Use a hydration pack or water bottles so you can sip regularly.

**Use Electrolyte Tablets**: Sometimes plain water just doesn't cut it, especially on hot days. Toss some electrolyte tablets in your water to help replenish lost minerals and keep you feeling good.

**Plan Your Route**: If possible, choose trails that have water sources along the way, like streams or lakes. Just make sure to bring a water filter or purification tablets to make sure it's safe to drink!

**Set Reminders**: It’s easy to forget to drink while you’re enjoying the hike. Set a timer on your phone or use a watch to remind you to take a sip every 20-30 minutes.
