Acclimate before touring
If you’re coming from low elevation, spend a few hours hydrating and moving slowly the morning of the tour to reduce altitude effects.
Midday storm window
In summer, plan outdoor stops in the morning—afternoons often bring quick thunderstorms at elevation.
Layer for variable conditions
Temperatures can swing rapidly; pack windproof outer layers and a warm midlayer even on sunny days.
Respect wildlife distance
Elk and other animals are common near roads—observe from the vehicle or designated pullouts to avoid disturbing them.
Layered clothing
Insulating and waterproof layers let you adapt to mountain weather quickly.
Sturdy walking shoes
Light hiking shoes or sneakers with good tread help on short trails and rocky overlooks.
Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen)
High altitude sun is stronger—protect skin and eyes even on cool days.
summer
1–2 liter water bottle or hydration pack
Hydration is critical at altitude; guides supply extra water but carry your own ration.
