What does it mean to go on a half a mile hike? Someone invited me to Cliffs of the Neuse State Park for a half of mile hike. What do I need, what do I wear, what will I do? Sorry if these questions seem silly but I don't know and can't ask the person who invited me, it's a date.
 
half a mile hike is a joke. that's two blocks or three. it will take you 10 minutes. 20 tops

looks lovely.

if you do not have hiking boots - take something where you won't trip, i.e. sturdy shoes. sneakers or teva type sandals if you are SURE you won't twist your ankle.

wear shorts or comfortable pants - could be jeans if they are comfortable -- no miniskirt, although I have scaled a rather rocky knoll in a long loose dress.
t-shirt, light sweater, windbreaker depending on the weather. maybe a hat. small backpack for a snack and a drink to make a picknick (not like you will dehydrate in this season)

again - this is a HALF A MILE stroll. not an expedition.

good hiking boots, appropriate clothing (is it cold, thermals are essential in cold weather) maybe a small pack to carry water and a snack. it doesnt sound like youd need a compass or anything, hopefully they know were they are going. a half mile hike is just that, however dont be fooled into thinking its the same as on the street. a hike that involves extreme elevation changes will feel alot longer and and take alot longer to complete. additionally if you dont know this person well a weapon for protection on a cliff hike might be nice, Ha Ha Ha.
