Top 3 Adventure Hacks

1) Bring a camera

The trail runs along fine wooded canyon streams and offers Hoegees Camp, Mount Zion, and Sturtevant Falls on one hike. Of course, you don’t want to miss taking a picture of this area.

2) A portable camping shower may be handy 

The long trek may be lined with bushes or a variety of plant life. Whenever a skin allergy begins to attack, it pays to have a portable camping shower.

3) Trek with style

Keep track of time with a stylish and durable wristwatch.
