Channel Your Inner-Onion
Dress like an onion! Weather is unpredictable and can change suddenly in Spring. Dressing in layers-like an onion-traps body heat in the space between the layers of clothing, creating extra insulation. Start with a wicking layer next to the skin, followed by an insulation layer, and finish with an outer layer that will protect you from the elements. Shed layers as it warms up and add layers as it cools to stay comfortable.

What Do You Think?
Trekking poles are becoming increasingly popular, as they reduce the impact of hiking on knees and provide extra stability. However, more and more trails are showing signs of pole use with erosion, holes, scratches and claw marks on rocks. When should you use or refrain from using trekking poles? Write to us at enews@lnt.org and let us know! | |
