You could post hole but I would say no gators. I just stayed away from the obvious areas. I wore regular low top trail shoes with long pants. Feet were fine. Up top it was in the thirties. But again we went on a colder day Friday. I believe it is warming up. Guys were in shorts and tee shirts but they had to be cold. I had long pants, fleece vest with short sleeve shirt. Only put the jacket and gloves on once before trail camp at the coldest of the morning.
