Local insider tips
• Layer up — weather can shift from sun to storm in an hour. Bring a windproof shell, swimsuit for geothermal pools, and always check road conditions at safeis.is before driving. • Hydrate well the day before, not just on the day. A light, high-energy snack keeps you going between stops.
