Waterfalls Tips

👟 Trail shoes

Most falls hikes have wet, rocky trails. Skip flip-flops.

💧 Water and snacks

Even short hikes burn through water in summer.

🦟 Bug spray

Falls = humid bush = mosquitos. Cover ankles and wrists.

📷 Polarizer

If you're shooting photos, a polarizing filter cuts glare on the falls.
