Update: Going so far-Thomas, Lylen, Yukari, Patrick, and myself. We are taking the train so no limit!
As I said, please have sturdy footwear with good traction. We will be walking on a lot of rocks, I don't want anyone to slip. No running shoes.Also, we will probably be going off trail a lot, walking along the rocky shoreline as much as possible, possibly bushwhacking, so long pants would be better to avoid scratching your legs.
