Plan Ahead
Look up the terrain difficulty, potential weather conditions, and places to stop for water and supplies on a longer trip. Get an estimate on how long your trip will take you. Park and National Forest rangers and PCF staff are available to help answer these questions.

I have the best job a retired person could have. I get to spend time in the woods a couple times a week and get to contribute to the community by providing paths to nature for folks to enjoy.

HIKE QUIETLY. Speak in low voices and turn your cell phone down, if not off. Enjoy the sounds of nature and let others do the same. Think of your hike as a time to disconnect or “unplug” and experience the outdoors.
