With the beautiful weather the Reno area is experiencing comes lots of outdoor recreation, like hiking. However, people may forget about the risks.
Those can include getting injured, and even having a car broken into while left at the trailhead unattended.
Sergeant Garret Bird with the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Team says they've seen it more and more.
"We have, in the last few years, run into issues where we have criminals that go," said Sgt. Bird. "They'll target the trailheads, and they'll go and break into cars and steal bags, phones, any electronic devices. Make sure that you either take that with you or leave them at home, so you don't fall victim to that."
A hiker we spoke to told us he makes sure his doors are locked, windows are up, and valuables are hidden during his hike. Another brought up another danger.
"I would pack lots of water. I feel like the most common is like dehydration," said Jessi Robbins. "Or if you're going somewhere where there's, like, fresh running water sources to bring like a Lifestraw or something where you can filter the water, so you just never run out of water."
Something else to remember is that once the sun goes down, the temperature will begin to drop, so hikers should bring layers and pay attention to the time, so no one gets stuck out in the hills without proper gear.
Hikers should also be aware of their personal limits.
"Take it easy. Know what your levels are and know what you can do," said Akasha Stephens, a hiker. "And make sure you don't do it too hard."
The Sheriff's Office says if something does happen, call for help. They say their search and rescue team is well-trained and can be instrumental in getting a hiker out of a jam.
