📌 Useful Tips

✅ Clothing Suggestions: Temperatures vary greatly between day and night. Layering is recommended, paired with comfortable walking shoes.
✅ Photography Equipment: Bring a polarizing filter to capture the saturated colors of the autumn leaves. Softer light in the morning and evening is best for photos.
