Winter is coming.
-
- Be prepared. Bring the right gear: layers of clothing, warm outer layers, sunglasses and sunscreen, and lots of water and snacks. Traction devices are always recommended when walking on ice and snow.
- Know where you are going. Don’t rely on cell phones. Many areas have no service. Carry a map and compass (or GPS) and know how to use them.
- Check the weather forecast. Weather can change quickly, especially if you are visiting higher elevation.
- Know trail conditions before your start.
- Discuss your plans with family, friends, and staff at visitor centers. Make sure someone knows where you are and when to expect your return.
