DEC is urging outdoor recreators to plan accordingly this week as high temperatures—of 90+ degrees—are forecasted through Thursday in the Adirondacks. Hikers should be prepared with at least two liters of water and ideally a water filter. Take plenty of breaks and eat salty snacks to keep your electrolytes in check. Since pets have a harder time staying cool, especially on hot rocks, it may be best to leave them at home. Also consider staying home yourself and rescheduling your hike for a day with cooler temperatures.
