  • The weather along the route is variable, with cold mornings and milder temperatures during the day. It is recommended to wear warm clothing, a waterproof jacket in case of rain, gloves, a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses.
  • It is important to bring water, energy snacks, and small-denomination cash for additional purchases or restroom use. A small backpack is also recommended for convenience.
