Wear protective clothing
Long pants and closed-toe shoes reduce scrapes from brush and protect against heat and vibration; guides provide helmets but not always full-body coverage.
Bring eye protection
Goggles or snug sunglasses prevent dust and debris from ruining your ride; swapping out cheap eyewear mid-ride is difficult.
Hydrate and eat lightly
Start with water and a light meal—the combination of heat, dust and adrenaline can dehydrate you quickly during a 4-hour excursion.
Secure valuables
Use zippered pockets or a small pack; phones and wallets can easily fall out on rough sections and river margins.
Closed-toe hiking shoes or light boots
Protects feet from impacts and provides grip on wet or muddy trails.
