Adventure Tips
Dress in Warm, Layered Clothing
Temperatures in high alpine areas can drop quickly; layering helps regulate body heat and keeps you comfortable.
Bring a Fully Charged Phone with GPS
Remote backcountry trails lack clear markings, so having GPS navigation can help you stay on course and safe.
Maintain Controlled Speeds on Hill Climbs
Hill climbs can be challenging and slippery; take your time to avoid accidents and preserve equipment.
Hydrate and Snack Regularly
High altitude activity can dehydrate you quickly; keep water and snacks handy to maintain energy levels.
