Leeds OPP commander Insp. Mike Francis reminds hikers that it’s important to always plan your route, bring maps, GPS and be prepared for adverse weather.
Other tips include:
- Leave information about your whereabouts on the dash of your car, have a charged cell phone, food, water and medical supplies.
- Always let someone know where you are going and when you think you’ll be back.
- Wear proper clothing and footwear, adding that attempting to navigate the trails in flip-flops would be a very poor decision.
