  • Wear proper footwear
    Invest in a good pair of hiking shoes or boots that provide excellent grip and support for your feet and ankles. Break them in before the hike to avoid blisters.

 

  • Let someone know your plans
    Always inform a friend or family member about where you’re going and when you expect to return. This precaution can be vital in case of an emergency.
