Im just asking because i would love to do it sometime in the future is there a way u can go with a guide or is it specific training ?
Answer
Find some people to hook up with. Either book in to a camp site in the mountains or find an organized hiking group.
Most towns have hiking clubs. Check your local library for info. Those clubs normally have a few trips to mountain areas if any are within reasonable distance.
Then you just get some boots, a pack, waterproofs if needed, warm clothes for chilly mountain air, take some food and drink, a big smile and an adventurous spirit and off you go.
Learn as you go along and keep it up. The more you do the easier it gets.
Good info from both of us on here about safety, and the romance of the call of the wild places on mine.

My daughter camps in mountains. She's got a spinal njury and lives in a wheelchair.. Can't walk. Still goes camping on mountains though.
Rides a handcycle to get there and puts the tent up herself.
Thousands of people with injuries get onto mountains. So don't worry. It isn't beyond most people to do it, just that most people don't want to do it.
Just for the flavor of what it's like for a tough hike up a steep hill, and for inspiration cos the guy's partner has an injury, see this.
If you manage to read right through it you'll get the difference between doing and not doing, ways to think, and of course most folks don't do it at all.. Also a little bit about reading a map...just a bit.
It's nowhere near you unless you're near the Lake District in UK. but it's the same if you're going up a steep hill in Colorado or Vermont or the Western Ghats in India.
Up is up everywhere. So is an adventuring spirit. Have a great time...it's a good way to live.

When you are used to hills like that, you've got your walking legs sorted and know how to move, how to stay safe, how to find your way, then you can tackle higher ones.
The higher you go the colder it gets on most mountains. It looks great from the valley bathed in glorious sunshine up there but the reality when you get there can be a lot different.
It's freezing. It's blowing a gale, and you'll be glad of a high rock to shelter behind and get your breath back.But the joy of being there, the view from the top, the exhilaration of having done it, far outweigh the aches and pains of getting there and the conditions you're in at the top.
If you want to get into technical stuff with ropes and harnesses, pitons, ice axes, and crampons on your boots, there are lots of groups you can go with, and lots of courses that cost a lot of money.
If you want it, you'll find a way to do it within your budget, or do some of it at least.
You'll be living the dream, if only in a fairly modest way compared to some, and you'll find a lot of help and companionship amongst walkers and climbers.
It's a great community, all over the world.
Have a good time...and then lots more of them.

Where is the best camp site in Western Massachusetts/Southern Vermont/ Southern or Eastern New York area?
Carconfuse
I am looking to go camping for the first time, the only requirments I want are a good place to pitch a tent and a lake/river/any type of body of water.
What is the best camp grounds?
Answer
Try Lake St. Catherine State Park in Poultney, Vermont. It's about 50 miles up the west side of the state. The sites are big and level. The showers and bathrooms are clean. And the Lake is a short walk from all of the sites.

The lake is large. The swimming area is nice.
