Hats are strongly recommended. Bonnets are not required for the sisters. Wear something that will protect your face and neck from the sun as much as possible. Straw and moisture wicking sun hats in neutral colors are good choices. No ball caps please.

Socks: To help reduce the likelihood of blisters, participants are encouraged to wear (1) walking or hiking shoes that are broken in and (2) two pairs of socks at a time. Ideally the inner sock is thin and synthetic, while the outer sock is wool or a wool blend. Socks that wick away moisture are the most helpful. Socks that are a wool-synthetic blend can also help reduce the potential for blisters. To help protect from sun and insects, participants are encouraged to wear long sleeves, wide-brimmed hats or bonnets, and sunglasses.
