While most of the trails in this book can be enjoyed without much preparation or gear, it's always a good idea to bring water, even if you’re just out for a quick walk or run. Water is essential for hydration and can also be used to clean out scrapes or cuts.

In terms of gear, you will want to make sure you have good walking or hiking shoes. Walking around in flip-flops or other open-toed, loose shoes can lead to tripping and can make it easier to injure your feet. Shoes aren’t the only thing to evaluate carefully when you prepare for a hike. See the Ten Essentials below for a full list of gear that can help you stay safe on any hike.
