1. Check the Weather Before You Head Out
Fall weather can be unpredictable, especially in Idaho. Make sure that you check the local weather forecast around the trails before you head out with your rental. You’ll want to know what temperature changes and wind conditions to expect in the areas you will be exploring so you can be prepared with adequate layers and gear. Also, you should choose your trail based on any challenges the weather presents.2. Dress in Layers & Bring Appropriate Gear
Each day’s temperatures can vary widely in the fall season, such as beginning and ending cold, with some warmth sprinkled in between. Dressing in layers will allow you to adjust your clothing with fluctuating temperatures. Just wear waterproof and insulated layers to protect yourself from the wind and rain. Also, don’t forget your hat and gloves.3. Take a Look at Trail Conditions
In addition to checking the weather before heading to the trails, you’ll also want to find out what conditions await you. The colder temperatures and precipitation of autumn can make trails unpredictable, slippery, and generally hazardous. Find a reliable source who can relay the conditions of trails with proper authority, or cautiously evaluate them yourself once you are there.4. Pack Some Emergency Supplies
It’s always wise to pack emergency supplies before heading out on any outdoor adventure, especially when exploring remote areas with unpredictable weather. Be sure to bring a flashlight with extra batteries, a blanket, hand warmers, plenty of water, snacks, and a portable phone charger.
