Other things to wear and bring — Weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes with a good tread appropriate for walking through a wooded area with uneven surfaces. Long sleeves and pants. Hats and sunglasses are always helpful. Gloves are a must!! Some extra gloves will be available, but sizes are limited. Bug spray and water — even in cooler weather — are recommended.
