Due to our unpredictable Northwest weather, as well as our graveled paths and other uneven surfaces, we recommend that all guests bring a pair of comfortable walking shoes with good tread. This will also be helpful for hiking our trails. Also, a jacket, comfortable layered clothing and an umbrella are recommended. And don't forget the flashlight. When you are out of the city and into the woods, it is very dark at night.
