How To Have Your Best Hike
Hike early in the day or late in the afternoon for the best chance to see birds, mammals and other wildlife. Keeping noise down and sticking to established trails will result in seeing more wildlife as well. Bring insect repellent, sunscreen, a hat, and water on any hike you embark upon for the most pleasant experience.
