Admittedly, I have only the smallest amount of data on this (see hereafter), but I'm thinking that Romney is better for hiking than Obama because:
- Romney was in charge of an Olympics
- Romney never did substances
- Obama did substances (which may be a non sequitur because I'm sure many hikers have inhaled, etc.)
- Obama (from what I've seen) seems to be more into screwing oil and other natural resource-based industries opposed to actually promoting outdoor activities (like hiking)
In my opinion, it doesn't follow that being conservative means you're anti-environment (I'm conservative, but I recycle, drive a Prius, am into hiking and camping, and am very stewardship minded) and it doesn't follow that being liberal means you're pro-environment (you might just be de facto anti-development).
But, I don't have much info about Obama's and Romney's documented actions (as opposed to just lip flapping) with regard to (specifically) hiking/camping/backpacking. Does such documentation exist for either?

Decisionmaking and action should only be informed by, not subject to, healthy, reasonable concern.
That being said, anything worth doing is worth doing to excess.

Just as long as it's over soon - I can't take many more Kyrsten Sinema commercials!
And don't forget that Jeff Flake supports uranium mining at the Canyon ...
