Register For a Peregrino Pilgrimage

The San Antonio summers can be brutally hot. Parts of the trail have no shade and temperatures are often over 100 degrees.

• Begin your walk early. Temperatures can reach 100 degrees by noon.
• Know your limits. Prepare for sun and heat. Wear sunscreen, hats, insect repellent and appropriate clothing and hiking shoes. Bring a first aid kit.
• Heatstroke can kill. Wear appropriate clothing so you can adjust to temperature changes.
• Drink plenty of water. Your body loses fluid quickly when you are on the trail. Bring a quart of water per hour of activity. Eat a salty snack to maintain energy and avoid illness.
