My tips to enjoying a beautiful sunrise hike.
- Decide you’re doing it the night before, pack your bag and get your clothes out before bed.
- Sounds simple but don’t forget to set your alarm – factor in travel and hiking time to the spot.
- Don’t forget your seat mat & warm layers.
- Snacks and a hot drink is always a must for me.
- Whether you go alone or with friends – take a photo but don’t forget to enjoy just being too.
