Please be prepared! Always tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to be back. This is just good hiking sense, no matter where you go.Bring plenty of water – and drink it as you go. Some basic first aid supplies are always a good idea, too, as are some snacks.Wear sturdy shoes that are designed for hiking.Dress or pack for all possible weather conditions forecast for the day.Layers are the wisest way to dress for the outdoors – you can add or remove as you go. We also recommend long-sleeved clothing, even in warmer weather. Poison ivy thrives on the Palisades. Ticks are common. Long clothing with a spray of repellant at the cuffs is your best defense.
