 Your backpack is a good receptacle for extra clothing as well. Because inland San Diego County experiences wider swings in day and night temperatures than coastal areas, layering your attire is a good idea: take along two or more middleweight outer garments rather than relying on a single heavy or bulky jacket to keep you comfortable at all times.

 Raingear, however, finds only occasional use on the coastal trails of San Diego. Usually, there’s plenty of advance warning when a rainstorm is brewing; it is highly unusual for fair weather to turn stormy within a short period of time. But always check the weather forecast.

 When the sun is shining (which is most of the time in this region), use sunglasses, wear long-sleeve tops, and apply sunscreen to your exposed skin. The higher the sun is in the sky, the more intense the solar ultraviolet. A broad-brimmed hat is highly recommended, with any head protection (for example, a ball cap or head scarf) better than none. Also, the greater the sun exposure, the greater the danger of dehydration, so fill up those water bottles and drink frequently!
