Remember before hiking
- Wear comfortable, properly broken-in shoes.
- Remember the weather can change – dress preferably in layers and have rain gear and warmer clothes at hand.
- Always have something to drink with you. Drink often, small amounts at a time.
- Wandering with a staff can make things much easier, especially downhill slopes, when the staff can be used to support your knees and joints.
- Do not forget that the surface is often slippery.
- Bring only equipment that you will be using. The backpack should not weigh more than 10% of your own body weight.
