Wear the Right Clothes
Appropriate footwear, socks, and clothing, including rain gear, go a long way towards a comfortable and enjoyable trek. A bandana is great for mopping off sweat, and a good hat and sunscreen will keep you for getting burned, even on cloudy days. The weatherman is not always right, so come prepared for unexpected weather and dress in layers to adjust to temperatures changes.

Collecting GPS tracks with Jim Majors on the Hospital Rock trail and low crawling the rhododendron thickets on the Poinsett Reservoir Passage are my most memorable PCF adventures.
