Hiking Histograms

I've been hiking a fair bit this decade, and I've been tracking my hikes with Gaia GPS. Curious to see some stats on my hikes, I created some histograms to visualize various metrics.

All charts are made with Observable Plot.

Bonus! Scatter plot of distance vs. elevation.

Things I learned:

  • Axis scale for histograms can be tricky, especially when data doesn't follow a normal distribution
  • Most of my hikes were pretty easy!
  • Charts made in Observable Plot look really nice out-of-the-box
