Layer for Variable Mountain Weather
The Wasatch region’s weather can shift rapidly—bring moisture-wicking base layers and insulating mid-layers to stay comfortable all day.
Hydrate Even in Cold Conditions
Cold air masks dehydration risk; carry water to maintain energy during snowshoeing or biking tours.
Respect Wildlife and Flora
Keep a safe distance from animals and remain on trails to protect fragile alpine vegetation and avoid disturbing habitats.
Use Sunscreen Year-Round
High elevation and reflective snow significantly increase UV exposure—apply sunscreen even in winter months.
