| Q: |
What should I wear? |
| A: |
Clothing is a very important part of any hike. You will want to dress in layers, wear light but warm clothing that dries quickly, and a hat for sunny or rainy days. Sun screen is also a good idea to bring. If you have a rain jacket or a wind breaker you may want to bring it as the weather can change quickly on the west coast. It is also a good idea to have a change of clothing if the weather turns nasty. |
