• Hiking shoes with tread
• Weather appropriate clothing (bring an extra pair of socks and car shoes)
• Whistle
• Water bottles (I recommend Smart Water Bottles because they are lighter than reusable water bottles)
• High energy snacks (trail mix, fruit snacks, nuts, non-chocolate candy)
• Personal medications (Tylenol, Benadryl, bandaids)
• Toiletries (pee rag, single ply toilet paper, doggie bags)

*Remember, if you pack it in you MUST pack it out!
**There will be a meeting and a separate supply list for the overnight hiking trip in October.

• Participants should come dressed to hike, with their own gear. EVERYONE must bring a whistle. (This is for emergencies:  if someone gets separated from the main group, they will be instructed to have a seat and blow on the whistle every 5- 10 minutes.) Participants may wear "car shoes" and put their hiking shoes on when we arrive.
• We will stop for lunch on the first hike to Grotto Falls at Park Grill. Participants will still need to bring snacks and water for the hike.
