Everyone needs to carry water! Even though you will be hiking on the rim, you still need to carry water. Always remember to eat as well as drink while hiking..

Avoid trouble by Hiking Smart
– Plan your hike before you start.
– Balance your food and water intake. Eat salty snacks and drink water or sports drinks.
– Go slowly, rest often, stay cool. Allow the weakest hiker to set the pace.
– During the summer, hike during the cooler, shadier times of the day.
