What (not) To Wear - Hiking

On the last day of our Arizona trip the winds kept us from the pool.

So we decided to go for a hike at the McDowell Mountain Range Loop.

Now, I'm no expert hiker.  I don't own hiking boots or a camelback water pack.  The only athletic shorts I have are reserved for the days I eat more ice cream then I should and need the forgiveness of an elastic waist band.

I normally wouldn't recommend taking my advice in regards to hiking.

But hear me in this friends; if the wind is blowing at a 5, it will be a strong 10 in a basin at the foot of a mountain.  A strapless dress, flip flops, and a straw hat are not the right choice.

I would definitely agree with your hiking advice, though I'm no hiker either! That looks altogether a bit uncomfortable for a hiking trip. I once was hiking and got lost and walked 7 miles while wearing swimming shoes....those blisters taught me the important of always wearing real shoes while hiking!
