【题目】A good hiking trip should be planned out ahead of time. Whether it is a hike on a mountain trail(路线)or through the woods, an enjoyable hiking trip can easily turn into a dangerous situation if safety is not considered well. North Mountain State Park recommends hikers consider the following tips before hitting any trails:
Make a copy of your itinerary to give to a family member or a friend. Make sure that someone close to you knows where you are and how long you will be gone.
Wear a good pair of hiking boots or strong athletic shoes. The right shoes will keep you safe, warm, and comfortable.
Prepare for various types of weather conditions. Check the forecast before you leave; take along sunglasses and extra clothing (e.g., a hat and /or a jacket for a day hike).
Pack plenty of food and water. Consider how long your hike will be and pack accordingly.
Pack basic and essential supplies. Bring a first-aid kit(急救箱), a flashlight, a pocket knife, a map of the area (if available), and a compass. You may need other supplies, such as matches, depending on the length of your hike.
Determine what time the sun sets. This information is available in most local newspapers. Most people become lost after nightfall, so it is important to know this information in advance.
Stay on properly marked trails. Stay on established trails to decrease the chances of becoming lost. Staying on established trails also lowers the risk of doing harm to rare and endangered plants.
Carry a whistle. Using a loud whistle is a good way to call attention to your location if you get lost.
Keep an eye out for wildlife. Do not approach animals in the wild, even if they seem friendly.
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC) manages a diverse system of more than 120 parks. The 90-year-old park system, which receives nearly 48 million visits a year, ranks 4th nationally in day-use attendance, 10th in overnight attendance, and the WSPRC has a smaller budget than most states.
