Hiking Tips

Carry plenty of water, at least 1/2 gallon per person

If hiking alone, make sure someone knows where you are going

Watch for flash floods

Wear sunscreen, a hat and sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots

The best season for hiking is November through March

Choose a trail that best fits your abilities

Long pants are suggested for protection from cactus and rocks

Climbing on rocks can be hazardous, remember going up is easier than going down
