Everything I Know About Hiking Poles

The benefits are numerous. And I can only think of 2 drawbacks: weight and size.

However, by purchasing the best, lightest, collapsible, and most compact trekking/hiking pole, you only reap the advantages. For years, I never even considered purchasing a Nordic walking pole. In fact, I occasionally laughed at hikers trekking with two poles. However, for my most recent Glacier National Park vacation, I opted to read many trekking poles reviews and realized that I was foolish. Once I purchased my walking sticks, I never looked back.
