Choose a pace for the terrain
Decide whether you want a short walk, a viewpoint or a longer guided outing. Tell the team about fitness, mobility and altitude concerns before choosing an activity. The name of a mountain or forest does not imply that a summit or every trail is accessible.
Before you visit
Check the exact route, guide requirements, weather and return time. Wear footwear suited to the terrain, carry drinking water and leave room in the plan for changed conditions.
Confirm current access, guide requirements, permits and visitor eligibility before travel.
