여행 팁
준비물
What to wear
Even when it's sunny and feels warm outside, it can often get blustery and cold as you gain elevation on a hike. Even if you're planning on visiting during the summer months it's a good idea to pack a hat and at gloves (nothing too heavy, liner or simple wool gloves will work) and throw them in your bag or vehicle in case you need them.
Wool, fleece, and down is warmer than cotton. Rain is a strong possibility in the spring and fall and things like wool and fleece will keep you warm even if you get wet!
