What to Bring?
Dress for the weather conditions, so you can be comfortable. We move slowly and stop periodically. In cool/cold weather wear extra layers for warmth. If it might rain, bring a raincoat, rain pants, or even an umbrella if that will help you be more comfortable.
Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes (or boots in wet or cool/cold weather).
Consider bringing a light backpack to carry extra layers, water bottle and bug/tick spray.
