Hydrate early
Start with at least 20–24 oz of water and bring a refillable bottle; guides carry extras but summer sun can dehydrate you quickly.
Layer your clothing
Mornings can be cool and winds pick up on exposed ridges, so wear breathable layers you can shed as you climb.
Footwear matters
Choose trail shoes with good traction — routes include loose gravel and short rocky sections where grip prevents twisted ankles.
Time your outing
Schedule hikes before midday storms in summer and aim for earlier starts in spring for muddy trail sections to firm up.
Trail shoes
