I think the most important when you are going to hiking, is to let your parent or friends closed to you know. Where are you going? In my recommendation that relate to the bold font in the article is "Make a copy of your itinerary to give to a family member or a friend." Because if some thing happen or you not back home on time as you planed, your parent or friends might realized if you give a planned route to let them know before you going thoug hiking. For this massage you can let them know in many way. for examples let friends and family know where you are, what your itinerary is, and your Trails name. You need to acquire a permit for the North Mountain State Park Hiking Tips in advance of arriving; a few of which require permits, fees, or reservations to stay overnight in shelters or campsites is important to let your family or friends know this in advances before you leaving home hikers are encouraged to purchase a permit just before leaving home.
