Walking, yes. But with cool feet. There are trails that lead far... And others that stop just early enough to allow time to dip your toes in a clear river. The kind of walk where you move forward to the rhythm of the lapping waters, where the shadows of the foliage draw secrets on the water, and where the silence is filled with the murmur of pebbles. Here are our top 5 hikes that run alongside, brush against, or cross a stream. For those who like it when nature whispers, rather than when it dazzles.

01
