If you love an epic view, try to catch the sunset. It gets super crowded around 6-7 PM, but trust me, the colors are worth it. Just plan to arrive early.

I suggest bringing a backpack with water and snacks; there’s really not much around once you’re on the dune, and it’s a good trek to the top!

If you're planning to try kayaking, go early! I went around 10 am, and the lines got super long by noon. I suggest getting there right at 9 to beat the rush.

Make sure you bring lots of water! I ran out really quick, and it can get super hot during the day. I think a hydration pack is a great investment if you plan to hike.

The driving along the Gorge is stunning, but don’t rush! I suggest setting aside a whole day for stops and views. You don’t wanna miss the best photo spots that pop up around every corner.

Don't underestimate the difficulty of the trail! Bring plenty of water and snacks, I suggest packing extra energy bars – trust me, you'll need them. I ran out way too soon!

Try to start your hike by 7 AM; the sunrise is breathtaking and you’ll avoid the crowds. I didn't do this and regretted not getting those picture-perfect moments!

Wear sturdy shoes. The trails can get slippery in places, especially if you go after it rains. I learned that the hard way.

I suggest packing a good lunch and snacks to enjoy by the lake. There aren't many places to grab food nearby, and a picnic by the water is the best way to take a break. Don't forget the water!

I think it's worth checking out the trails that lead away from the main path. Less people, and you might find a hidden spot to chill or score some awesome views. Just be careful with your map!

Pack some snacks and water for hikes! I brought some trail mix and saved a ton on overpriced snacks at the view points. Plus, it kept the energy up while exploring!

Bring plenty of water and some snacks. I was so focused on the view that I forgot to hydrate – ended up feeling a bit woozy. A portable snack stash will keep your energy up!

I suggest visiting in the early morning, around 7 AM. Trust me, the sunrise views are breathtaking and the trails are less crowded then – I wish I had gotten up earlier!

I suggest bringing your own snacks and water. There are few places to buy food up there, and I spent too much on a sandwich at a small café. Pack well and save some cash!

My advice is to check the weather a day before and don’t trust it 100%. I got caught in a sudden rain shower! But it was still pretty fun, just not ideal.

I recommend starting your hike around 7 AM. That way, you can enjoy the cooler weather and the stunning views without the crowds. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.

Pack some snacks that won't squish in your backpack. I brought a couple of protein bars, but I wish I’d packed some nuts or trail mix – they hold up better while hiking!
