Footwear matters
Wear waterproof hiking boots with good tread—trails are rocky, boggy in places and can be slippery after rain.
Hydrate and snack
Carry at least 1–1.5 L of water and the provided snacks will help during the mid-hike break by the campfire.
Dress in layers
Bring a windproof outer layer and an insulating mid-layer; Arctic evenings can be warm in sun but cold when wind picks up.
Protect against bugs
Bring insect repellent—calm summer evenings can have midges near coastal wetlands.
Waterproof hiking boots
Stability and waterproofing are essential on rocky, occasionally boggy Arctic trails.
