Your favorite Hiking Trails are open Every Day of the Year

When embarking out on hiking trails make sure you bring extra food and water, appropriate clothing, first aid kit, and safety equipment. Bring insect repellent or netting to ward off persistent pests. Because water sources are not reliable in dry weather, you should bring at least one day’s supply of water. A cool head in a stressful situation can usually prevent things from turning from bad to worse.

Bring extra pairs of socks that you can change into if your feet get wet or sweaty – if they aren’t made of cotton, they’ll keep your feet drier. Once you’re on the trail, stop as soon as you feel a “hot spot” on your feet and apply special type of bandage called “moleskin” to the sore area.

Visitors may experience the backcountry of the preserve through three new backcountry day hiking trails. During the main tour season (the last Saturday in April through the last Sunday in October), visitors may hike from 9 a.m. Visitor information leaflets, which include a map of the Refuge, may be picked up at information kiosks at Refuge entry points.

Forest Service have created an mapping tool which identifies which maps to purchase for recreational activities across eleven of the U.S. National access to recreation permits and other useful information is also available. Occasionally some provincial park and forest service management features, including campgrounds, may be privatized or transferred to municipalities and regional districts, but these changes usually will not affect the trails and routes.

Hiking routes in the Dolomites are well maintained by local authorities and the trails themselves are well marked to prevent hikers getting lost. Mountain bikes are permitted on 6.5 miles of multi-use trails. Portions of many trails are wheelchair accessible with assistance to some degree.

Visitors to Konza Prairie are allowed on the hiking trails from dawn to dusk, weather and trail conditions permitting. Konza Prairie’s hiking trails are a destination for thousands of visitors each year, especially during the peak wildflower seasons of June and September.
