Just because no one else is mentioning it... maybe I'm the dum dum for even bringing it up but make sure you account for the weather. Our first snow is expected next week and sometimes stuff gets icy here. I know that for me I hike with my Yak Traks as soon as the ice starts to show up, but I also fall a lot. And some of the trails are in places you can't drive to without the right car. It's only Nov 4th though so, like I said, I'm probably the dum dum for taking the time to even mention this. Happy hiking!
