WHAT TO BRING

You will have a better vacation if you are prepared. You will be at elevations of 7,000’ and more. Temperatures are cooler at higher elevations so even summer trips can get cold and/or wet so you'll need warm clothing for all conditions. The items to pack no matter what time of year are warm clothes for cooler evenings, good rain gear, and sunscreen.
