I love just rambling around the countryside and seeing new things. I walk a fair amount every day, and I find that there's something good for the soul about walking a lightly-travelled footpath with no particular destination in mind, alone with your thoughts. If there's no undeveloped land at hand I'll walk through the city, which has its own charm, but I find it doesn't have quite the same effect.
I suppose I must be in the minority though. There are many trails near San Francisco where I never come across more than a handful of fellow walkers, despite the area's dense population.
