The average person or hiker can hike on average of between 20 to 25 miles per day.

The more fit you are the faster you hike the more miles you can cover in hiking.

Most hikers hike around 3 miles per hour so that would be 24 miles if you hiked for 8 hours in a day but you also have to factor in the time it takes for you to stop and take a break.

During an 8 or 9 hour hike you'll want to stop and take a break to pee, poop, eat and just rest for awhile.

Hiking is a good workout and helps you lose weight and helps you improve your heart health.

When you hike it's a good fun way to get your exercise in and you get to see a lot of great sights.
