Location recommendations: Bear Mountain State Park Trail, Cedar Rock Mountain, Ansel Adams Wilderness
Best hiking outfit: Adventure seekers and those who are fervent fans of Wild (both the memoir and the film) understand that this kind of journey is perilous. They also know that having durable attire before you trek through a path layered with jagged rocks, poisonous plants, and insects galore is something you should carefully examine. Also, the higher you climb, the colder the temperatures get, which is why wearing long layers is key.
For your top, start with a thick cotton or breezy wool, and then work your way up to synthetic fibers that can withstand moisture and repel bugs. Bottoms should be cargo pants. As for footwear, make sure your boots are light and fit a little loose. You don’t want to experience what Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild, went through. Spoiler: She lost a toe nail.
