How to prepare?
1. Wear comfortable shoes. If you have hiking boots that would be preferred. However, if you have not committed to buying hiking shoes, wear comfortable tennis shoes.
2. Check the weather for the day and dress appropriately. When you are hiking in the Winter, you need to pay attention to what the weather may be for that day. The start of the hike will be cooler than the the end of the hike. You still will want to dress in layers, as you will start off cold, but as we move you will warm up. Also, make sure you wear solid footwear with grips on the bottom. Hiking boots are strongly encouraged. Winter can bring snowy trails that can be slick if you are not wearing appropriate footwear.
3. Bring a small to medium size back pack. This is to carry any personal items; cell phone, water, personal medication, and any other items you may need.
4. Always bring a at least 1L of water. Make sure you have hydrated the day before, and the day of the hike.
5. Remember, there are no bathrooms in nature, so stay hydrated but make sure you are good to hike without needing a bathroom. If you do need to use the bathroom, nature will be your stall.
6. Suggested: Download the AllTrails app. Trail app will be provided in confirmation email.
