FAQs
Wear pants and a comfortable top with socks and walking shoes or sneakers. Bring 2–3 layers (long sleeve, sweatshirt, and/or jacket) since it can be warm at the coast and cold at the summit; a hoodie, scarf, or beanie can help on windy days.
Expect much colder conditions at the top than at the coast. The summit is often in the 40s and can feel colder on windy days.
You get fresh banana bread and pineapple. A cooler with bottled water and ice is included, and you can bring a refillable bottle (such as a Hydro Flask) for refills from a jug.
