Important Things to Know Before You Go hiking to waterfalls:
- Do not Go Alone: Remember to bring a buddy with you, as you are
in the wilderness and situations can happen.
- Pack Light but Smart: Hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, bug spray and a means of communication (cell phone, and in very remote areas a satellite phone). The heaviest thing in your backpack should be your food and water.
- Sturdy Footwear: Footwear designed for hiking is best.
- Be Nice to Yourself: Know your abilities and do not overextend yourself. Choose a hike that is best suited to the hiker that you are, not the hiker you think you should be. You are responsible for yourself.
-
Stay on the trail.
