Hi, Shaun! For sure, we can’t recommend trekking poles ardently enough! They are super nice to have for both uphill and downhill hikes, but on the downhill, they’ll definitely save your knees!

I always regret that part of the hike except knowing that the reward is at the end. The training advice is very relevant building the quads to protect the knees is important. I like the advice to actively engage the glutes. Also the trekking poles sounds like something I might try in the future. Happy Hiking 🙂
