Expect many stone steps
Routes include long flights of uneven stone steps and narrow switchbacks—use poles only if you walk; otherwise steady footing and short strides help on descents.
Hydrate for heat and hills
Carry 0.5–1.5 L in a hydration vest and sip frequently—coastal sun plus climbs can dehydrate you quickly.
Grip matters
Wear trail shoes with sticky rubber; smooth limestone and wet steps become slippery after rain.
Start early
Begin before mid‑day to avoid heat and enjoy quieter trails and better light for photos.
Trail running shoes
Sticky soles and ankle support improve traction on limestone steps and singletrack.
Hydration vest (0.5–1.5 L)
Hands‑free water and pockets for snacks keep you fueled on long climbs.
