Step 1
Change into a clean, dry shirt. Chances are the shirt you wore is wet from sweat. Grab a dry, loose-fitting shirt to put on.
-
Step 2
Take off your hiking boots. Cool feet make your whole body feel much cooler. Bring a pair of sandals to change into and cool those dogs off.
-
Step 3
Find a cool place. A nearby creek, lake or stream with cool water should be surrounded by a cooler air temperature. Find a shady spot to cool off in and get out of the sun.
-
Step 4
Do some light stretching exercises. Stretch your leg and back muscles to remove the tension that built up during your hike.
-
Step 5
Grab a cold refreshing drink. Any cold beverage can cool your body down after a hot day of hiking. Drink electrolyte replacement beverages to replenish salts and potassium that you lost while sweating.
