What to Bring

Attire

The temperature in New England can vary greatly during the summer months. Some days are rather warm, reaching the 90's with high humidity, where others are a cool 50. We recommend dressing in layers as temperatures can vary drastically throughout a single day. Be sure to bring a light coat and comfortable, waterproof walking shoes or sneakers.
