Warm weather might be a distant memory in the northeastern US, but that doesn't mean hydration isn't an important factor to consider on your next hike. Last week, New York forest rangers responded to a callout for a hiker on a long-distance trail who was suffering from dehydration and required evacuation from the scene.
According to a report from the state Department of Environmental Conservation, Ray Brook Dispatch received a call from a hiking party attempting the 50-mile circumnavigation of Cranberry Lake in the Adirondacks on October 19 at 6:24 p.m.
