About dressing code : When preparing for a hike, especially in mountainous regions, it's crucial to consider the fluctuating temperatures and terrain. Early morning temperatures before sunrise can indeed drop significantly, often ranging between 5 to 10 degrees Celsius, making a jacket an essential item to carry. While shorts may offer comfort during the hike, long pants provide additional protection for the legs and knees against scrapes and insect bites. It's always best to prioritize safety and preparedness when venturing into nature's unpredictable environments.
