Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Planning your hiking adventure begins with letting a friend or relative know your
trip itinerary so they can call for help if you don't return at your scheduled time.
Your next task is to make sure you are outfitted to experience the risks and re-
wards of the trail. This section highlights gear and clothing you may want to take
with you to get the most out of your hike.
