Hiking Clothes
Hiking can be enjoyable and invigorating in any season if you are well prepared and dress properly. Wearing layers of comfortable clothing is appropriate in nearly all weather conditions, making it easy to adjust to temperature variations and unexpected inclement weather.
Losing the trail.
Losing the trail can easily occur, even with the experienced hiker. Contributing
factors include:
· A rocky or sandy area (the trail is hard to see; it takes a sharp turn but you forge straight ahead)
· Following a false trail made by other lost souls
· Mistaking a drainage ditch at a switchback for the real trail
· Snow on the trail
· Detouring around windfalls (downed trees) or around a bad stream crossing
· An inadequate map
· Out after dark with/without a light
· Going off trail to find a photo op
· Deliberately trying for a shortcut (shortcut a switchback, only to have the trail turn the other way).
