What to Bring
The high-elevation mountains and valleys of Wyoming and Idaho can bring a full range of weather on any given day of the year. It is not uncommon to see a 40 degree temperature change either. Layered, non-cotton clothing and appropriate outerwear is the key to staying comfortable in the mountains. Also note that freezing, windy weather can occur even in July and August especially at higher elevations. For your comfort and safety, please follow this list carefully. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to consult with us. And be sure to bring your camera!
We provide: Naturalist guide, transportation, drinking water, snacks and lunch, binoculars, guidebooks, complimentary children’s activity book for all youngsters, backpacks or waist packs and rain ponchos, if needed.
You bring: Proper-layered clothing for a full day in the mountains. Plan for cool and windy conditions at higher elevations. Be sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes. We provide rain ponchos but if you are planning an all day trip, personal rain gear is nice to bring.
