Hydration is important at this time of year. Bring plenty to drink, electrolytes, as well as a snack.  Insects, including ticks, are sure to be in full force so take steps to avoid being bitten; wear long sleeves and pants, and bring insect repellent.  Also wear hiking boots as the terrain will be quite rugged in areas.  Hiking poles are recommended.
