They did a study of hiking demographics. It’s almost like skiing. Hikers are earthy crunchy middle to upper middle class. They are likely to drive Subaru, Prius or even Porsche Cayenne. You have to buy some equipment and take trips which cost money.

Nonsense! When I was dirt broke, my friends and I hiked regularly — at least once a week. We’re talking hiking (and some repelling with cheap gear that one of my friends had left over from his Army days), not hard-core mountain climbing, which probably costs a bit more.
California is filled with great places to hike. Just drive the beater car a few miles and you’re there. Pack some apples, maybe a couple of (cheap) granola bars, some water, and that’s all you need. Easy peasy.
