What to wear: Dress in layers as needed dependent on the weather. Good Hiking boots or shoes is a must. Waterproof shoes/boots work well. It is good to wear a hat to block the sun and avoid ticks. Bring a rain-repellent windbreaker for unexpected showers, wind, and cold at higher elevations as needed. Long pants help protect against poison ivy and ticks, but not required.
