Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Any recommendations?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be walking quite a bit on the trail. I’d suggest wearing layers too because the weather can change quickly in Gettysburg. A hat and sunscreen are helpful, especially if it’s sunny. And don’t forget a water bottle to stay hydrated!
