TAKE
A HIKE
Before you set out on your hike,
we've got a few unique inside tips to help make your
adventure special.
Take
care NOT to eat a large meal before setting out. Big
eats before Hiking Embarkment makes the hiker
apt to get tummy upset, particularly in the heat. Always
allow your meal to settle for about one hour before
striking out - and that includes light meals as well
as heavy feasts.
DO
take a few hard candies for quick energy along your
hike.
It's
easy to get caught up in the fascinating beauty and
awe of Mother Nature, but keep your wits sharp and your
eyes keen for sudden drop-offs, hidden cliffs, spider
webs and yes, even quicksand.
Avoid touching any
form of nature that you are unable to positively identify.
Nettles sting, ivy itches and mushrooms poison.
Never take more than you can comfortably
carry.
