SAFETY GUIDELINES
Be aware of local laws, regulations and etiquette about wildlife and the environment.
Pay any fees and possess any permits required by local authorities.
Obtain reliable information about physical and environmental conditions along your in-
tended route (eg from park authorities).
Walk only in regions and on trails within your realm of experience.
Be sure you are healthy and feel comfortable walking for a sustained period.
Even if you're visiting in winter, bring a good pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes from
the glare of snowy surfaces.
