Sure! Here are four different responses you could use:

**Get in Shape**: Start training a few weeks ahead by going on shorter hikes and gradually increasing your distance. It’s all about building that stamina! Also, don’t forget to do some strength training for your legs and core.

**Gear Up**: Make sure you have the right gear. Invest in a good pair of hiking boots that are broken in, a comfy backpack, and weather-appropriate clothing. Oh, and don’t forget a water bottle and snacks!

**Plan Your Route**: Check out the trail maps and plan your route. Know where the water sources are and any campsites if you’re staying overnight. It’s always good to have a rough idea of where you’re going, just in case.
