Plan for everything!
When you're in the mountains, you have to go with Mother Nature: one day that might mean blazing sunshine, the next unexpectedly wet weather. In the summer, you'll want to pack both sunscreen and a raincoat - and in the early summer, especially, plenty of bug spray. The mountains can be enjoyed all year round - winter hikes are often the most magical - as long you are ready for the elements.
