What to bring
Weather in the Bay area in July is typically lovely with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s but
it can vary, from highs of 90 to lows in the 40s, so when planning what clothing to bring be
sure to include good layering options.

- sock liners if you use them

Notes
- Your boots should be well-broken in, comfortable, and experienced from many happy
hikes, walks with the dog or even to the store. You don't need heavy duty hiking boots
for this trip however if you have had problems with your ankles in the past I do
recommend higher top footwear over 'walking' shoes or trail-runners.
- Socks that wick moisture and don't chafe are best.
- Avoid jeans for the trail. Most people don't find them very comfortable for active hiking
