<p style="margin: 0; font-size: 17px; color: #064e3b;">Spring is a magical time to hit the trails. Flowers bloom, birds sing, and the world wakes up from winter slumber. But spring weather can be unpredictable—one minute you're enjoying warm sunshine, the next you're caught in a sudden downpour. That's why choosing the right clothing for spring hiking is crucial.</p>

<p style="font-size: 17px; color: #475569; margin-bottom: 20px;">The golden rule of outdoor clothing in spring is <strong>layering</strong>. Multiple thin layers work better than one thick layer because they allow you to adjust your comfort level as conditions change.</p>
