Wear Layered Clothing
Temperature can vary widely between desert lowlands and canyon elevations; dressing in layers helps adjust comfortably.
Bring Sturdy Footwear
Uneven, rocky trails require solid hiking shoes or boots with good grip to navigate hoodoos and river trails safely.
Carry Water and Snacks
Although snacks and water are provided during stops, bring a refillable bottle to stay hydrated during hikes.
