Hydrate before and during the tour
High desert sun and time in a vehicle can mask thirst — carry and sip water even if bottled water is provided.
Wear sun protection
Bring a wide-brim hat and SPF 30+ sunscreen; shade is limited at most vortex pullouts.
Respect cultural and natural sites
Stay on designated paths and follow your guide’s directions — some spots are culturally sensitive or fragile.
Bring stable footwear
Short exits from the vehicle can land on uneven sandstone and loose gravel — closed-toe shoes with grip help you move safely.

Keeps you hydrated through desert heat; refill before the tour.
Wide‑brim hat
