The above answers are all correct but not quite complete. Yes, use a hood, and a polarizer or no filter, and/or adjust your capture / development settings. BUT... if you are shooting B&W, a Red filter will increase dynamic range by about a stop, and Red or IR-pass filters will increase contrast.
Increased contrast is not always good. I normally shoot at elevations below 1800m / 6000ft, and I normally keep contrast boosted. But I recently spent a couple weeks shooting near or above 3000m / 10000ft. The atmosphere was extremely clear. Contrast was through the roof! To recover image detail, I had to knock-down the contrast in RAW development of thousands of shots. Argh!
So, my advice: Use a hood and maybe a CPL. Shoot with contrast neutral or slightly low. Adjust as needed in RAW development. And shoot some B&W with a Red filter -- it's NOT the same as just applying digital filtration! Hay, for a real kick, shoot B&W with a light blue or violet CC (correction) filter. This replicates what early photo emulsions saw, before panchromatic film. Hint: You may want to boost the contrast setting a little.
