Comment:

If your idea of a day well spent involves legging it up a mountain side, traversing meadow and dale, and just generally rambling about the great outdoors, then this is the playlist for you. We've roamed far and wide to bring you the best in hiking songs, with tracks dedicated to the glories of nature and your perambulations through it. So while the Friends of Distinction are diggin' the great wide open with some retro-pop "Grazing In the Grass," the Allman Brothers Band is rocking a Southern-style salute to the best kind of overhead projection, "Blue Sky." Sly & The Family Stone offer encouragement for the ascent on a super-funky "I Want to Take You Higher," while Van Halen goes a capella to wish you paths both straight and smooth with a goofball "Happy Trails."
