Hiking

Be prepared for high elevation and sun!

Remember, your body will need to adjust to thin air if you are coming from lower elevations! Consider trying a shorter trail before you commit to a strenuous hike.

Bring plenty of water and electrolytes, salty snacks, sun protection, and appropriate hiking gear. High temperatures and unexpected monsoon storms are common in the summer. Cold temperatures and snow are possible in the winter. Your safety is in your hands.
