Avoid alcohol and drink plenty of water BEFORE you go on your day hike and bring at least 64 oz. of water with you.
The color of your urine will get darker when you are getting dehydrated, that's your body's way of telling you to drink more water.
That's pretty much what I watch for/notice, the urine color. I also drink a lot of coffee which likely doesn't help.
