Carry sufficient water and filtration
Water sources exist but always bring a reliable filtration system to ensure safe drinking water throughout your trip.
Prepare for challenging terrain
Expect uneven, rocky paths and steady elevation gain; good hiking boots and trekking poles are recommended for stability.
