IS PARKING FREE: Parking is free but we suggest you arrive as early as possible to secure a good parking space
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR: A good rule of thumb is to dress comfortably and in layers. Dressing in layers will allow you to stay warm when your cold and as you warm up, you can take off layers and not over heat. It's going to be warm to hot, so we strongly suggest cool moisture wicking clothing, a hat, sturdy hiking boots or trail sneakers (your choice), wool socks, a small day back, trekking poles (optional) and plenty of water.
