Insider tips

Bring a change of athletic shoes if you intend to switch between the paved walking paths and the hiking trails.

Check local weather forecasts before visiting, as the park is fully outdoors and highly exposed to mountain wind currents.

Hydration stations are limited on the trails; carry your own water supply.

What to avoid
