Rent a car if possible. Vehicles are ideal; Lyft is available; bicycles help
What to pack
Shoes & clothes
Good walking/hiking shoes are best. Tennis shoes will be fine for most people. Dress in layers and make sure you have good rain gear such as jacket with hood. Umbrellas aren’t ideal because of the wind we often have.
