Nutrition & hydration - this park earns it

The park tells hikers to carry two quarts per person for a two-hour walk, and a gallon per person per day in the backcountry, where the little water that exists is too full of sediment to filter. The 10-mile Castle Trail crosses open prairie with nothing to hide under, and summer highs sit in the 90s°F.
