Items to Bring

• Appropriate clothing: Opt for moisture-wicking layers, clothing that covers the skin.

• Hiking footwear: Choose comfortable, broken-in hiking boots or shoes with good traction and ankle support.

• Food and water: Pack high-energy snacks and a bottle of water.

• Sun protection: Bring sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat.

Let's Avoid

• Dehydration: Drink enough water to prevent dehydration, which can cause dizziness, fatigue, headache, heat exhaustion, or heatstroke.

• Sunburn or sun damage: Protect yourself from sunburns and long-term sun damage, which increases the risk of skin cancer and premature aging.

• Injuries or accidents: Wear proper footwear, clothing, and equipment to minimize the risk of slips, falls, blisters, or sprains.

• Exhaustion or overexertion: Pace yourself and be mindful of your physical abilities to avoid exhaustion, which can impair decision-making and increase injury risk. We won't leave you behind.
