Take the HikeStorming Challenge and Test Your Creativity!










Choose one of the following questions below.Think on it while hiking or doing another physical activity (walking, running, working out, etc.) Then, come back and impress the world with your ideas, revolutionary thoughts and / or breakthrough comedic twists.

Then, let’s see how this develops over time. Will your ideas resonate? Will they merge with others? Don’t you think it’s time a good idea went viral? Try it out. 


Don't forget to reference the question number in your answer and to post your answers here: HikeStorming Facebook Page
