Footwear is of utmost importance on a hiking trip like this. You’ll need waterproof boots to keep your feet dry during rain storms and walking through snowy areas. Cold, wet feet are a good way to get blisters, at best, and hypothermia, at worst. We also recommend boots over shoes because they provide more ankle support, lessening the chance of injuries. This should go without saying, but be sure to break footwear in before your trip!
