When a word that is usually a noun is used as an adjective, that word is called a participle. (These words often, but do not always, end in -ing; they can also end in -ed, or other irregular endings.)
The word "hiking" is used as a participle. "Hike" is a verb, and clearly denotes an action. However, when used in this first sentence, you can see that "hiking" actually helps describe the "trails," so it is used as an adjective.
The word "frightening" is also used as a participle. "Frighten" is a verb, but in the context of the second sentence, "frightening" is used to describe "hike."

Answer from: Quest
1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.
2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.
3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it.
4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.
5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry.
