Travel Tips

  • Start hikes early morning to avoid afternoon heat and crowds on popular trails.
  • Bring plenty of water and electrolyte drinks; mountain dehydration happens quickly here.
  • Wear sturdy hiking boots with good grip; trails become slippery after rain.
  • Hire a local guide for off-trail exploration; many paths lack clear markers.
  • Pack insect repellent and light rain gear year-round for comfort and safety.
