Sprained ankles, blisters, and sunburn are all common injuries that can occur during hiking and trekking.

Uneven terrain, improper footwear, and lack of experience can all contribute to sprained ankles while hiking or trekking.

Wearing properly fitted hiking boots, applying moleskin or duct tape to potential blister areas, and keeping your feet dry can all help prevent blisters while hiking or trekking.

Applying ice and compression, elevating the injured ankle, and taking over-the-counter pain medication can all help treat a sprained ankle while hiking or trekking.

Wearing sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, reapplying sunscreen every two hours, and wearing protective clothing, such as a hat and sunglasses, can all help prevent sunburn while hiking or trekking.

Rapid ascent to high altitudes, lack of oxygen, and dehydration can all contribute to altitude sickness.

Headache, nausea, and vomiting are all common symptoms of altitude sickness.

Ascending to high altitudes gradually, drinking plenty of fluids, and eating a healthy diet can all help prevent altitude sickness.

Descending to a lower altitude, drinking plenty of fluids, and taking over-the-counter pain medication can all help treat altitude sickness.

Broken bones are not as common as sprains, blisters, and sunburn during hiking and trekking.

Seeking medical attention immediately, applying first aid, and resting and elevating the injured area are all important steps to take if you experience a hiking or trekking injury.

Staying on marked trails, carrying a map and compass, and telling someone your hiking or trekking plans can all help you avoid getting lost.

Staying calm and assessing your situation, trying to find your way back to the trail, and signaling for help are all important steps to take if you get lost while hiking or trekking.

Training and conditioning your body, packing the proper gear and supplies, and learning about the area you will be hiking or trekking in are all important steps to take to prepare for a successful trip.

Being prepared, aware of your surroundings, and respectful of the environment are all important things to remember when hiking or trekking.
