The Experience
Before You Go

Hydrate and snack
Even with bottled water included, bring a small snack and sip regularly—altitude increases dehydration risk.
Dress in layers
Mountain weather swings quickly; a light windbreaker and a sun layer cover most conditions during a two-hour ride.
Watch for wildlife
Stay with the guide and obey distance rules if you encounter elk or other animals; do not approach or feed wildlife.
