Plan for an early pickup

Dress in layers
Desert mornings are cool but the burners add heat; wear layers you can add or remove quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Launch and landing areas are uneven and may be grassy or dusty—sturdy shoes improve safety and comfort.
Bring a secure camera setup
Use a wrist or neck strap for cameras and phones; the photographer provides professional images, but personal shots are worth securing.
Camera or smartphone with strap

Light insulated jacket or layers
