Hiking is fun and satisfying, but a degree of caution is vital. ROP Broadcasting student Kevin Brown has some safety advice…
Do you like to hike? If so here are some hiking tips that Lorna Shuman, a supervisory park ranger, from the Joshua Tree National Park Service has to offer to make sure you have a fun and safe time. Always tell someone where you are going and when you will be back, it’s also better to go with someone than to go alone. Stick to your plan you have and if you change the plan update whoever is your contact that is not going with you. You should know the route, pay attention to your surroundings, and have maps that will help you know your way around. Bring a lot of water to stay hydrated; you should also bring a small snack, sunscreen, hiking shoes, a backpack, and maps. Have a great hike and remember to be safe and have a good time.
