Positive attitude & energy
(Both adventures are 2-day hiking trips with over 20 miles roundtrip, so if you feel you drink more, bring more in smaller bottles, but don’t over burden the pack or overload the weight. What you bring you must also pack it all out.
Pay attention to the length of the trails, on each trail we’re doing just over 10 miles in, then 10 miles out the next day. They also have their own elevation gains but not as bad as some others. Make sure before signing up you know you can make this. These hikes will only be available up until the Monday of the hike. So from Monday to the Saturday hike the week off you cannot sign up for these as I must have time to prep for these trails once I know how many are joining.
If you don’t have your own gear, you’ll need to pay the deposit that gets you a pack, tent, and sleeping bag for the duration of the hike.
