I have only taken one proper hike in my life, and it was extremely beautiful. In June of 2021, my friends and I drove down to Yellow Springs, Ohio (the hippie suburb of Columbus where Dave Chapelle lives) and took a gander at one of their many trails. It was so beautiful to see such attractive natural sights after spending a year and a half inside watching Netflix slop. Sure, the waterfalls we saw were small compared to harder trails, and so were the cliffs, but we were able to complete the trail in a healthy two-hour time period. It was a lovely way to start that summer.

These hiking memes aren't for rubes like me. They're for the real hiking fans who find that anecdote boring at best and cringe-inducing at worst. If you like hiking enough to put it in your dating app bio and mean it, these hiking memes are tailor-made for you.
