Start at first light
Bird activity peaks in the morning; aim for an early departure to maximize sightings and cooler temperatures.
Wear grippy footwear
Trails include sandstone slabs and loose scree—stiff-soled hiking shoes reduce slip risk.
Pack water and snacks
Although bottled water and a charcuterie board are provided, bring an extra 1L per person for hot days.
Respect wildlife distances
Use provided optics and let animals move freely; close approaches stress wildlife and can ruin sightings.
Binoculars
Even though optics are provided, personal binoculars speed spotting and personalize the experience.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Provide grip on sandstone slabs and protection on uneven terrain.
Layered clothing
Temperature can swing quickly; bring a windproof outer layer and warm mid-layer.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen)
High sun exposure at elevation makes sun protection essential during warmer months.
