It is important to be well versed before exploring the backcountry.
Here are a few basics to help you get started:
• Always hike with another person. • Always bring a small flashlight. • Always bring water. • All water taken from the backcountry should
be treated. • Let someone know your route and return time. • Wear appropriate shoes and clothing. • Carry a small first aid kit.
Be informed on the weather and be prepared
for quickly changing conditions. Always check current weather conditions.
