Top Trekking Hiking in USA

Pack enough water and snacks. I underestimated how thirsty I’d get and ended up regretting not bringing more. Carry at least 2 liters!

Wear good hiking shoes with grip. The last section is pretty steep and precarious. I slipped a bit with my old sneakers – not fun!

I highly recommend hitting the trail early, like around 7 AM. You'll beat the crowds and get those gorgeous morning views without too much noise. Plus, it's a lot cooler then!

Bring some snacks and plenty of water. I ran out of water on the way back which made it a bit rough for me. You'll appreciate the energy boost from a quick snack trust me.

Consider visiting during the shoulder seasons, like late spring or early fall. The weather is perfect, and it’s less crowded than summer.

I recommend wearing layers; the weather can change quickly up there. It was chilly in the morning and warm by noon, so I was glad I could adapt!

Bring extra snacks and plenty of water! You'll be burning energy, and trust me, the views are worth some extra calories.

Take your time on the loop! Some spots are easy to miss if you rush. I suggest stopping and soaking in the views—there's nothing like it.

If you're looking to save some cash, consider packing a picnic instead of dining at nearby restaurants. There are some stunning spots along the trail where you can enjoy your meal!
