Dress in layers, as you will be active and building a sweat, you want to be able to prevent moisture and getting cold. Charge your phone in advance, and put it in a warm place, such as inner jacket pocket, as the battery doesn’t perform as well in the cold. Make sure to bring water and snacks.
Start at Glen Alps trailhead, and start exploring the trail system. Navigation is easy, as you can follow a trail that is called “Powerline Pass”, so you’ll have a very helpful point of reference.
