South Mountain Reservation Hike
This hike is an easy hike but you should still be prepared.
Essentials:
o Dress in comfortable, loose layers so that you can take a shirt off and tie it
around your waist if you are hot or put it on if you are cold. Light colored pants and white socks are strongly recommended
to avoid bug problems.
o Hiking boots if you can with a good ankle support or sneakers.
o Bug repellent with DEET is recommended.
o Sunscreen (30+)
o Sunglasses
o Hat
o 2 bottles of water (you may want to freeze one and keep it in your bag to keep
you cool).
o Tissue packet
o raingear if the weather calls for it
o a “trash free”, healthy lunch
On the morning of your trip, report to homeroom and as soon as the bell rings, go directly to the cafeteria and sit with
your chaperone group.
We will be eating lunch on the lawn so bring a towel to sit on (you may leave this on the bus).
