That’s the spirit…👻
National parks offer boo-tiful scenery, wildlife sightings, and a connection with nature. We want your trip be safe and enjoyable. As you prepare for a walk or hike, keep in mind some general safety tips as you embark on your adventure:
🎃 Dress appropriately for your park activity. For sun protection, we recommend wearing loose-fitting, light-colored clothing. Research the route and terrain of the hike before you go and identify the right equipment for your trip. Like shoes. (Unless you prefer to hover.)
🎃 Check the weather before you head out. If conditions are not ideal, don’t take the chance! Getting caught in the rain can really dampen your spirits.
🎃 Keep track of the time. (This hike seems like forever!) Remember that your total hike time includes the time it took you to hike to your destination and back to your starting point. If any of your hike, in either direction, is uphill, plan for it to take at least double the time it took you to go downhill...
