With March arriving tomorrow, spring on the horizon and, hey, temperatures in the 70s in late February, now is the time to reconnect with the great outdoors. First, find a NoVA camping site. Then, pack up the car with the right equipment. And last, lace up those old hiking boots. Or upgrade to a new pair, like one of these top-rated options that will get you across all sorts of terrain with their waterproof, durable fabrics; thick rubber soles; and mid-ankle rises. There’s even a sleek, versatile walking-hiking hybrid shoe in there.
